Height 71cms Width 65cms Diameter base 21cms Price 85€	The idea is based on the relationship between parent and child and is one of a series of sculptures about family life and values.

The original design influence came from ancient African sculpture as I liked the idea of the head shape having simple eyes and nose and no mouth.
