About this item: Depicted in three dimensions, a longhorn skull is shaped from iron. Marco Polo creates a wall sculpture with old West flair. He takes his inspiration from the vast cattle ranches and haciendas that once stretched across the continent's fertile grasslands. About our Artist: When Marco Polo was 13 years old, he was already working in a forged iron workshop to pay for school. 'When I was 23, my wife and I decided to open our own workshop with a different design concept featuring perforated silhouettes from sheet metal. The shapes are cut freehand, and we give them form and texture with a hammer and other tools that I've made myself. All my designs arise from my imagination, from dreams, or whatever comes to mind as I begin to work with the metal.'
