Estátua, No Reserve - Bronze Patinated Whale Soaring on its Pedestal - 22 cm - Bronze

A bronze whale sculpture mounted on a stand is a magnificent piece of art that captures the grace and majesty of these gentle giants of the sea.

Well aware of the direct impact of mankind on the environment they create respectful alternatives to the authentic vulnerable species, such as sharks. Just as enchanting but less of an impact.

The sculpture is made of bronze.

SUSTAINABILITY
Our bronze sculptures are made from upcycled metals such as old pipelines.
Our craftsmen and women collect this scrap waste which they then put in an oven at very high temperatures.
Once the scrap waste pieces melt, the new raw material is ready to be used.
We then use this virgin material to make our bronze sculptures. As bronze is a very eco and labour-intensive material to mine,
we feel it makes much more sense to reuse the material that has already been created than to extract it – again.
By doing so we are trying to close at least one waste loop.

TRANSPARENCY & WHO MADE IT
Lastly, when it comes to our working conditions, we work exclusively with Indonesian craftsmen and women in both Bali and Java. This piece specifically was made in Java, Indonesia.
All of our craftsmen and women get paid a living wage that exceeds what Indonesian Law requires.
Their income is enough for a comfortable home, food, education, ceremonies, and more.
