Mid-Century Modern "Nail Art" Skiier on Wooden Base cute but are also great objectsThere are a fair number of mid century "nail art" tabletop sculptures out there, some abstract, some figurative; and while this little skier is not especially unique, I really like it. At this point, there is a fair amount of rusting to the metal, and some aging to the wooden base as well, which I think contribute to a sense of this as a committed and intrepid athlete! It's great from every angle, too, making me think it might land happiest on a desk,
