Asian Modern Cast Iron Snail Sculpture for the collector which included a collection ofThis little cast iron snail sculpture is a wonderful thing to hold in your hand: weighty and substantial, it feels as if it contains the wisdom of the universe in the spiral of its shell. Unmarked but I believe Japanese, it would make a terrific paperweight on a stylish desk or a subtle yet striking addition to a grouping of any manner of interesting objects.
