All natural, a driftwood (dried husk of the cactus) that flourishes in the Southwest United States, the Cholla Wood Sculpture is cast from an actual cholla wood skeleton. Intricate and interesting, it rests on a black marble base, which offsets it nicely, suspended on the polished silver tubes supporting it. Definitely an accent piece that will promote questions and curiosity of its aura in the environment chosen to display it.
