Lot 194 | AESTHETIC CAMPO DEL CIELO IRON METEORITE - SCULPTURE FROM OUTER SPACE
Estimate value
£ 5 000 – 8 000
The smooth, highly textured surface is blanketed in a charcoal patina with chrome accents to the ridges and russet tones to the deepest grooves. The form evocative of the asteroid, from which it originated, the meteorite’s entire surface is blanketed with sought-after regmaglypts (the scalloping that occurred as this mass penetrated Earth’s atmosphere and underwent surficial melting). A natural small hole pierces the specimen.
10 x 6 x 5in. (25 x 15 x 13cm.)
9.2kg.
