DESCRIPTION
The basic frame of the gecko is created using tin, which is powder coated with a black finish. The frame is reinforced using tin wire along the inner edge. Capiz is an oyster shell and the primary purpose of the oyster is as a source of food. However, the by-product, the shell, can be used for decoration. Due to it being a natural material, the natural colors of the capiz come through as tans and browns underneath the paint. The shell is then painted the bold colors you see. The entire front facing piece is carefully hand-painted keeping in mind the reflective qualities in the color of geckos.Striking in its silvery tones, this playful gecko will add a spark of life to any space. With its tightly curled tongue and wide-open eyes, this gecko is one the move. Down the center of the gecko the artist uses capiz shell, in it's natural color, to reflect the iridescent nature of the gecko. The combination of the silver metal and the natural shell enhances any wall. This gecko is great by itself it looks even better in pairs. Dimensions: 10in x 2in x 19in
