Its torso is built around a repurposed oil filter, paired with sharp articulated metal legs, gear assemblies, piping and a sweeping blade-like cranial plate. Every joint, weld and machine mark is preserved, celebrating the raw texture of scrap auto parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt stands freely without an extra stand, balanced on its spiked limbs, as if ready to creep forward. Weathered steel, brass tones and worn patina give it the look of a creature evolved within engine bays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt joins the Pressure Leech and Aero Manta in this series of industrial biomechanical specimens. A stunning pick for lovers of steampunk, found-object assemblage art, weird entomology and dark mechanical wildlife collections.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WMHand.
