Matasya

This Matasya metal art is a visual anchor handcrafted using the non-industrial Cire Perdue (lost-wax casting) method, a 4,000-year-old tribal metalworking tradition.

Every single aspect of this piece showcases the meticulous nature of generational craftsmanship. The body of the fish is adorned with beautifully hand-layered, concentric loop patterns that replicate glistening scales, transitioning into a striking, dramatically upswept tail that conveys a sense of fluid life and motion. Because each piece is born from a single clay mould that must be broken to reveal the cooled brass alloy, this 5.5-inch sculpture is unique, carrying its own subtle, beautiful imperfections.

The Styling Ritual: With its compact 5.5 x 2 x 3-inch dimensions, this sculpture carries exceptional structural weight for its scale. It is highly versatile and acts as an elegant accent when styled atop a stack of design books on a coffee table, nestled next to a low-profile candle tray, or placed on a floating shelf against a warm, earthy backdrop.
