Scrap Metal Cat Sculpture
This handcrafted assemblage figurine features a cat constructed from repurposed scrap metal elements, including brass hardware eyes, thin wire whiskers, perforated metal ears, and a silver-plated spoon tail attached to a painted wooden croquet ball body.

Background Note
Found-object sculpture, often referred to as assemblage art, developed into a prominent creative movement in the early 20th century as artists began integrating everyday functional items into three-dimensional art. Folk artists and local craftspeople frequently repurpose antique hardware, kitchen utensils, and reclaimed wooden components into decorative animal figures. Each piece reflects a tradition of creative resourcefulness by transforming discarded everyday objects into unique decorative art.
