Pangborn Radiumizer - Raku Fired Ceramic Sculpture
Pangborn Radiumizer - 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 features bright reds and opalescent bronze colors, with a large, deep red orb in the scope of the raygun. The last photo depicts the cover of a novel by the author that inspired the name of this raygun.
The Raku Rayguns are sized for the human hand. This one measures about 9" 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.
