Sally Shaffer 2003 Paper Mâché Fish Sculpture – Brass Rivets, Signed

Playful and imaginative wall-mounted fish sculpture by Sally Shaffer, signed and dated 2003 on the verso. Crafted from paper mâché and finished in vivid yellow and cobalt blue with metallic gold accents, the piece features a bold, textured surface created by dozens of brass rivets. The sculpted mouth and fins are highlighted in shimmering gold, while the strikingly realistic eyes bring the fish to life with an almost whimsical presence.

Measuring 14 x 10 x 8 inches and weighing just over 1 lb, this lightweight yet dynamic piece is designed for wall display and includes a built-in hanging wire. Both a decorative statement and a collectible artwork, it bridges the line between folk-inspired craft and contemporary sculpture. Its inventive mix of materials and vibrant finish make it an engaging focal point for any interior or collection.

Condition:
In very good condition overall, with minor surface irregularities consistent with age and the artist’s chosen materials. Glossy finish remains bright, and all rivets are secure. No structural issues noted.

• 14 x 10 x 8 inches
