Serpent

Brown and gray snake with a light yellow underside coils on a rocky earth ground encircled by a branch with five sedge grass plants and four violet and red flowers with yellow and orange filament and anthers. Signature cane. Circa 1980.Diameter 3 5/8". Alex Acevedo/Steve Cole.

Delmo Tarsitano is known for his "earth-life themes", realistic presentations of salamanders, snakes, spiders and bees.

The grounds, creatures, and delicate flowers of his earth-life sculptures display complete mastery of the technical aspects of lampwork. With consummate skill and precision he uses optical cutting to enhance each lifelike scene. (LH Selman: All about Paperweights.ISBN 0-933756-17-8)
