Three gilded brass spheres are superimposed to form the head and ears, with a small central button serving as a nose and lending an unexpected touch of expressiveness. The central shaft, ornamented with embossed leaves and ending in a conical foot, provides the classic counterpoint to so many spherical forms. Candelabrum parts, a pétanque ball and telescope remnants merge here without ever losing the character’s identity. A composition that seems to float between the orbital and the domestic, ideal for collectors drawn to geometric assembly and Disney reinterpretations.
