Seen as a symbol of protection in Greek mythology, crabs are living fossils that were crawling the Earth well before dinosaurs. Our Crab in Bronze stands alone on delicate legs with polished pincers held high, a tough-shelled guardian designed to bring you back to days spent sold by the sea.

Our bronze Crab sculpture is a dazzling home décor piece. The crab is made of patinated bronze which is what gives the sculpture a green/blue glow.
A sophisticated statement piece that lights up any room. The Crab stands on its own without a fitted base and can easily be lifted and displayed on any surface in your home or office.
Sustainability
Our bronze sculptures are made from upcycled metals such as old pipelines. Our craftsmen and women collect this scrap waste which they then put in an oven at very high temperatures. Once the scrap waste pieces melt, the new raw material is ready to be used. We then use this virgin material to make our bronze sculptures. As bronze is a very eco and labour intensive material to mine, we feel it makes much more sense to reuse the material that has already been created than to extract it – again. By doing so we are trying to close at least one waste cycle.
Transparency & Who Made It
Lastly, when it comes to our working conditions, we work exclusively with Indonesian craftsmen and women in both Bali and Java. This piece specifically was made in Java, Indonesia. All of our craftsmen and women get paid a living wage that exceeds what Indonesian Law requires. Their income is enough for a comfortable home, food, education, ceremonies, and more.
