About this item: It's the last seconds of the game and the ball is in the basket in an entertaining sculpture by Mexico's Armando Ramirez.

Ramirez uses discarded pieces from a die machine to shape the players' heads. The ball is made up of two hoops made from metal sheets. Please note it is the artist's intention not to give his sculptures a fine polished finish, therefore smudges and scratches may be present.Components may vary slightly in size and formFeatures a rustic, rugged finish About our Artist: Born in a Mexican town famed for its traditional artistry, Armando Ramirez dreamed of creating something new.
