Weinbomber - 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 looks as though it could emit a very deadly, concentrated energy ray and beguiling music, simultaneously.

The Raku Rayguns are sized for the human hand. This one measures about 15" long by 11" 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.

The last photo is the cover of a book by the author that this raygun pays homage to. For more information, please visit this web page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_G._Weinbaum

When shipping, we very carefully wrap each raygun in yards of bubble wrap and double-box them. We have a lot of experience shipping fragile items successfully!
