Gearhead

21” tall, 6.5” wide, 6.5” deep (Wall Hanging)

This ceramic rhinoceros has been in my junk collection for a long time. He was broken into several pieces when I purchased him from an estate sale. I had to purchase a special saw to salvage just his head. His “collar” is the base of an old candle stick holder. The cast iron gear is from an old knife sharpener. The brass gears have been harvested from several old clocks. The base of this sculpture is an old barometer. These were very popular wall decorations in the 70’s. This one came from the garage of the father of my friend. I thought about replacing the bottom dial, but I think by leaving it there, it preserves the idea of what it once was.
