“Unicorn of the Sea” is a quality made, simple automaton sculpture representing a Narwhal, a medium-sized whale who’s single spiralled tusk may have given rise to the legends of the unicorn, when found washed up on the beaches of old.
The Narwhal is lovingly created from cold-cast aluminium and has a real brass, spiralled tusk and hand sawn tail applied with a hammered finish that catches the light. The base is made from salvaged, recycled, quality dark or light hardwood. Real glass beads have been added to represent the Narwhal’s eyes.
When the handle is turned, the Narwhal rises and falls as though frolicking in the ocean waves.
