Vintage brutalist windbell with lovely patina from an estate sale in Portland

This unusual cast bronze sculpture is from the creative mind of Italian artist and architect, Paolo Soleri, who came to the US to study under Frank Lloyd Wright and began experimenting in the 50s and 60s with "earth-casting" techniques at his Arizona studio and home, Cosanti.

This piece has a segmented, almost bone-like chain and a fluted bell with a clear, strong tone. It would make a truly striking, artful accent to your porch decor.
