Handcrafted in Haiti from recycled steel oil drums, this striking 11" x 7" wall sculpture by Brutus Peteson features a fierce dragon coiled around a medieval sword. Richly detailed scales, dramatic wings, and an intricately embossed blade showcase the exceptional skill and imagination of Haitian metal artisans.
Each sculpture is individually hand-cut, hammered, and embossed using traditional techniques passed down through generations in the artisan community of Croix-des-Bouquets, Haiti. No two pieces are exactly alike, making every sculpture a unique work of folk art.
The dragon has long symbolized strength, courage, wisdom, and protection, while the sword represents honor and resilience. Together they create a bold statement piece that is perfect for fantasy lovers, medieval décor, gaming rooms, offices, or collectors of handcrafted metal art.
Finished with a protective clear varnish, this sculpture is suitable for indoor or covered outdoor display.
