A majestic muse strums a harp, her waves crashing against a shore with tendrils reaching out like grasping fingers. The shape is octagonal, adorned with an egg and dart border that dances across its surface. Corrado Giuseppe Parducci was the creator of this masterpiece. Its dimensions are substantial: 12 inches tall, 9 inches wide, and just 1 inch deep. The material used to craft this sculpture is plaster. It's a gift from the Estate of Corrado Joseph Parducci, now part of the Detroit Historical Museum's collection. The accession number for this piece is 1982.095.
