Лот 205 | SIKHOTE ALIN METEORITE -- SCULPTURE FROM OUTER SPACE
Оценочная стоимость
£ 7 000 – 10 000
This legged, asymmetric body evocative of walking figure is the quintessence of an iron meteorite. Deep furrows, vibrant peaks, and regmaglypts (the thumbprint-like indentations produced during the meteorite’s fiery plunge through the upper atmosphere) are much in evidence. Draped in a dark gunmetal patina. This meteorite is testament to the monumental forces exerted on an object while punching through Earth’s atmosphere, and is a compellingly aesthetic example from the greatest meteorite shower in modern times.
43/4 x 3 x 21/2in. (11 x 7.3 x 6.5cm.)
788g.
