A contemporary still-life bronze of an opening nut, its halves parting to reveal the kernel within, set above a single broad, veined leaf on a round plinth. The artist plays a dark, textured patina across the husk and foliage against polished golden highlights on the opening fruit and the rim of the base — the incised leaf with its fine veining giving the piece a botanical precision. A small, richly worked object, intimate and tactile, that turns a humble nut into something quietly precious.
