20 Inch Rustic Motorbike Horse Upcycled Auto Parts Sculpture, "Rustic Horsepower"
Horsepower surges into life with this extraordinary sculpture by Mexico's Armando Ramirez. His vision begins with a varied collection of auto parts and metal pieces he then transforms into a motorized horse sculpture. The head and face are crafted with bearings, screws, nuts and die-cut scraps, wire twists shape the torso and mane. The hind legs are replaced by a bus bearing and an automotive clutch disc.
The artisan does not give his sculptures a fine polished finish, therefore smudges and scratches may be present.

"Amazing detail!"
Ive been waiting for this sculpture for months to give as a gift to my niece, who just became a veterinarian. I was in awe of the quality and detail of this piece, and I know that my niece is going to treasure it! I will definitely be back for more sculptures in the future!

"Clever design that looks even better in person"
Somehow the picture doesnt convey to me quite how precarious the hummingbird looks in real life and yet how solid it actually is. It also looks extremely cool.
