An intriguing found-object sculpture featuring an antique carved wooden shoe last mounted on a contemporary industrial metal stand. The wooden element displays a deep, aged patina with authentic distress marks, nail holes, and grain textures consistent with its original utilitarian use in shoemaking. The piece is elevated by a slender cylindrical rod welded to a square steel base, which is stamped "FLORENCIA ITALY" on the lower corner. This juxtaposition of rustic, organic wood and minimalist metal creates a compelling decorative statement piece.
