Buck Rogers Cosmic Ray - Raku Fired Ceramic Sculpture

Buck Rogers Cosmic Ray - Raku Fired Ceramic Sculpture:

Raku Rayguns are one-of-a-kind ceramic sculptures made by West Magoon. They are inspired by alien technology unearthed at a secret UFO crash site, known only to a tribe of Wyoming Hill People. Each raygun is named after a science fiction author, character or device.

This raygun takes visual inspiration from the tin toy ray guns of the 1950s and 1960s and imagines those bright colors weathered by time.

The Raku Rayguns are sized for the human hand. This one measures about 10" long by 9" tall. Each Raku Raygun comes with a ceramic moon crater plaque wall mount. The raygun rests on brass hooks embedded in the plaque which provide a sturdy support. The plaque has an attached wire on the back, for hanging on the wall.

The visual roots that inspire these sculptures include sci-fi magazine covers from the 30's,40's and 50's, the styling cues from 50's automobiles, and design elements from Art Deco and Art Nouveau which contribute to the Steampunk flavor of the Raku Rayguns.

When shipping, we very carefully wrap each ray gun in yards of bubble wrap and double-box them.
