Molten Totem, Mirrored Abstract in Olive and Red

A horizontal, perfectly mirrored abstract made of glossy swirling ribbons in olive green, deep red and gold. Down the center the shapes line up into a mask-like face with curled horn-like forms at the top, surrounded by scrolling, marbled patterns on both sides.

Someone wants this piece because it reads as ornate pattern first and then, a moment later, as a face. A mirrored stack of olive, red and gold swirls turns into a horned, mask-like figure down the centre. The glossy, molten-looking surface and the strict left-right symmetry give it presence on a wall. Most mirrored abstracts stay decorative. This one has a figure in it that a viewer finds for themselves.
