Folk Art Sculpture of a Cauldron with Found Objects. 20th century. Small iron cauldron with handle; bowl has a base of dirt. This was likely assembled as an Ogun Orisha religious pot. Above the dirt base is a plaster piece filled with found objects, including nails, spikes, a kitchen knife, keys, bolts, a small metal skull, a length of chain, two feathers and more. Cauldron and metal pieces generally rusted, some other wear, soiling. Good. An unusual example of a folk art sculpture. Approximately 6 ? x 6 ? x 10".
