English Lacquered Eye - Golden Brown by Robert Elsdale

An amber iris the size of a serving platter, and it has noticed you.

Lacquered Eye, Golden Brown, is the work of Robert Elsdale of England, in the United Kingdom. It is contemporary, in lacquer over pigmented wood. Lacquer has long been prized because each layer adds depth, turning a flat surface into something you seem to look into, and that effect suits an eye. Thin black lines radiate from the dark pupil through a field of tawny gold. The color scorches to near black at the edge. A soft gloss lies over everything. It measures 21 inches in diameter.
