Masterful American Craftsmanship Unlike mass-produced decor, each Brantley Ribcage is a triumph of engineering and fine art, proudly handcrafted in the USA. This piece is constructed from 52 individual pewter castings that require 15 hours of meticulous assembly by master artisans. Following assembly, it takes an additional 10 hours of precision hand-painting with enamels and the careful hand-setting of stones to reach its final, brilliant form. This is a rare opportunity to own a work that requires over 25 hours of dedicated hand-labor to produce.

It transcends traditional decor, serving as a museum-quality sculpture that blends the "memento mori" tradition with high-fashion floral aesthetics.

Incredible Structural Complexity: This figurine is composed of 52 separate pewter components.

Lavish Jewel-Toned Finishes: The sculpture is bathed in deep, opulent enamels that provide a stunning backdrop for the hand-set European crystals.
