We are very pleased to offer this beautiful Humpback Whale Sculpture by John Perry for your bidding consideration. This 1976 sculpture features two Humpback Whales suspended over Burl wood. Each John Perry sculpture is unique. Most Perry sculptures are mounted on Manzanita Burl wood, which is the root burl of the Manzanita bush. There is a metal oval attached to the burl with the artist name John Perry. The tag reads "This sculpture is molded and hand finished under the supervision of the artist. The materials are Ebonite, Balanite or Pellucida, durable compounds developed by the artist." John Perry developed Pellucida - a compound of resins that can be presented in a variety of forms, the frosted white version resembling bisque porcelain, the beige version, Balanite, looks like polished ivory, and the black version, Ebonite, like polished ebony. Some of the pieces are air-brushed for a realistic look. This lovely sculpture will be an outstanding addition to many decors. *** Weight: 1# 7 oz. - Measurements: 7 x 5 x 6.5
