Handcrafted Bronze Sculpture “Fist of Peace”
A contemporary work of art that combines the power of human will with the timeless symbol of the olive tree. A solid, solid bronze fist rises decisively, holding an olive branch with delicate, embossed leaves and olive wreaths, all cast using the lost-wax technique. In the background, an elegant wooden panel stands out, painted in a warm, natural shade that emphasizes the contrast between metal and wood.
