‘Jericho’ by Guerbe*
Item Description
Iconic Art Deco figure ‘Jericho’ of a nude maiden standing elegantly on tip-toe on one leg, her head thrown back as she holds to her lips a long horn, raising it high above her.

A visually exciting sculpture with flowing lines and so very Art Deco in every way.
