Expertly crafted by skilled village artisans in Haiti, this unique Pair of Owls on Perch Metal Wall Art is made from recycled 55-gallon steel drums. The meticulous process of transforming sheets of metal into stunning pieces of art is entirely done by hand. Repurposing steel drums previously used to transport oil to Haiti's capital, the metal is cleaned and flattened to create these one-of-a-kind works of art. Perfect for both indoor and outdoor display.

• Type: Metal Wall Art
• Colors: Metallic
• Materials: Upcycled Steel Metal
• Finish: Lacquer
• Dimensions: Approx. 24" Diameter
• Care: If displaying outdoors it is recommended to spray with a clear lacquer once or twice a year, as prolonged exposure to the elements will cause rust.
• Hanging Instructions: To hang metal art simply use pin head nails in the many nooks and spaces available in the design. If nails are shiny, you may want to darken heads with a black marker to help nails visually disappear.

Given the handmade nature of this product please allow for minor variations. As the metal is recovered from recycled oil drums and colored through a burning process it will vary slightly in coloration. Typically the piece has a darkened steel patina. If handpainted, exact colors may vary, which speaks to the one-of-a-kind nature of each piece. Each piece of metal art whether painted or natural is coated with a layer of clear lacquer to help protect the metal.
