Ultra Rare 1970 Cosanti Large Bronze Bell

Ultra Rare 1960s Cosanti Large Bronze Bell

If you're not familiar with Paolo Solari and his work with Cosanti and Arcosanti, I HIGHLY recommend you do! I actually visited Arcosanti in Arizona in December of 2019 and it changed my life. (I’ll attach some photos at the end, because this place and their work is truly amazing). And also got to pick several bells right off of their olive trees and now I have a collection of 12 ha ha ha. I may have to keep this if it doesn’t sell soon and absorb it into my own collection :)

Y'all know I LOVE a story: I actually acquired this from someone who inherited it from the original owner who volunteered with Paolo Solari and his communt to build Arcosanti in the early 70s, their second ecological experiment, I assume this was a gift <3

Color Scheme: Patina-ed Bronze
