Vintage Armadillo Sculpture — Hand-Carved Wood & Textured Brass (Mid-Century, 1960s–70s)
A striking armadillo sculpture combining two noble materials: body, head and legs hand-carved from solid wood with a warm mahogany finish, crowned by a spectacular brass shell textured with engraved circles evoking the animal’s natural armor plates.
A sculptural piece with real presence, typical of mid-century modern design with a bohemian spirit. Its stylized silhouette and wood-and-metal mix make it the perfect focal point for a console, bookshelf, executive desk, or coffee table. The brass retains its original patina — a mark of authenticity collectors appreciate.
Perfect for: animalier art collectors, mid-century/boho/southwestern décor, interiors with character.
