The Sleeper

They aren't totally current pieces, but at this time I'm trying some "complemented pieces" and, casually, I've dropped this briar urn on a boxroot cup.
I find the "marriage" not so bad...

all the stuff is about 6" x 3"1/2

Why the Sleeper ?
because the poem "le dormeur du val" thanks to Arthur Rimbaud
mine has too a big hole in the chest

Friendly,
Lionel.
