    I picked up this brass/bronze hammered figural sculpture at my local thrift. The only thing that comes close is by a artist named higgins. Is this by him? I have had art glass by a artist named higgins from the 60s and 70s so was wondering if it's by the same artist? Thank you for any info!

    several folks here like to blow up pics looking at scratches and dents, for things that could be makers marks........

    my turn...

    do you see a mark, that reads 1950 under it ???

    it's most likely nothing.......... but it's there..

    Those are attractive & evocative...I think they're castings, or a casting, rather than hammered...that texture is in the mold, I believe. The back is sanded; or ground, more probably.

    I've been hesitant to say, other than the artist you cite, they look similar to Hawaiian petroglyphs, because I haven't found one to match.

    Yes, it is cast. It could be sand cast.
