Sculptural Much Weathered Old Lobster Trap Fragment painted carvings proud and humble at onceFound in Maine, as one might expect: I believe this is one side of an old lobster trap, to my eye very beautiful in its much weathered state, the wood looking as if has been lapped by the waves for many many years. Mortise and tenon corner joints, rust bleeds from the old iron nails, hand knotted twine netting.
