Piper H Beam - Raku Fired Ceramic Sculpture
Piper H Beam - 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 gorgeous metallic and iridescent colors with flecks of bright color and colored and textured bands. The wall plaque that supports the gun is also adorned with sparkles of crushed green glass, melted into the desert colors of the plaque.
The last photo is the cover of a novel by the author who inspired the title of this gun.
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.
