Iron wall sculpture, "Rainbow Butterfly"
Sculpted of iron, a butterfly flaunts wings with a rainbow of colors. J. Blas covers them with glass inlay to capture and reflect the light. To the ancient Aztecs, the butterfly represented Itzpapalotl — the Obsidian Butterfly — a principal deity and agricultural goddess.

"A bit disappointed"
When this arrived, it was very dull in color. I was very shocked by this. I did spray it with a clear coat, and that brightened it up a bit, but still pretty dull. wish it was super bright like in the photo.

"Beautiful hummingbirds!"
These two sculptures were an anniversary gift and go perfectly with another wall sculpture from a very different place. Beautiful craftsmanship! Exactly what we were hoping for!
