Vintage Bronze Mermaid Sculpture. Brutalist Surreal Studio Object

Small bronze figure with an unusual, slightly surreal form. The head opens like a poppy flower and the tail finishes in a claw shape. It sits somewhere between mermaid, creature, and symbol. The style aligns with mid-century Brutalism and small studio sculpture from the 1960s and 1970s. Textural surface. Warm, even patina.

It has presence despite its scale. One of those pieces that sits quietly in a room but draws focus when you look at it properly.
