With grace, agility and flexibility,this Chiparus gypsy performs for a entranced crowd. She stands center stage. Her body moves fluidly and her arms stretch elegantly, one extending to the sky and the other behind her. She arches her back, tilts her head to the side and gazes down to her feet. Her flat stomach peeks out from between her long flowing skirt and beaded floral bodice. A silk scarf is wrapped around her head neatly. 100% bronze and handmade, this sculpture was cast using the "Lost Wax Method" and mounted on a marble base.
