Striking vintage terra cotta bas relief wall plaque depicting a dramatic medieval-style warrior in richly sculpted relief. Signed and dated “19 7 1966, ” this expressive piece blends Gothic and medieval influences with the earthy texture and sculptural character associated with Mid-Century decorative art.
