Name: Bronze Face Sculpture Box by Scott Nelles Studio - c.1980
Brand: Collectors Gene
Price: 435.00 USD
Availability: OutOfStock

Part sculpture, part storage, this bronze trinket box by Michigan-based artist Scott Nelles is cast in the form of an enigmatic face. Signed and dated 1980, the piece has a richly patinated surface and smooth weighty feel. The lid is a stylized face—somewhere between tribal, theatrical, and modernist—while the interior offers a shallow cavity for storing rings, keys, or small tokens.

Nelles is known for his cast bronze objects that blend whimsy with craft, and this early piece is a rare example from the start of his studio career.

Collectors Notes

Part surrealist mask, part heirloom object. This piece feels like something you’d find in the drawer of a stage actor or poet. A quiet keeper of secrets, it makes a soulful gift—especially when tucked with a handwritten note or vintage token inside.
