Description :

Compact scale sculpture from the renowned Arizona silver studio Gra Wun founded by Ray J. Graves. Very unusual in that Graves (d. 2015) was known as a jeweler; however, he often did commissioned pieces and this may have been one since he would have had an interest in aviation (he was a B-17 bomber pilot in WWII with over 30 successful missions). 

The sterling silver jet is marked "sterling" and also has the Gra Wun stamp under the wing. It is mounted on what appears to be a sterling strip and attached to an abstract-patterned planet in glass. This in turn is mounted on a wooden block base. The base has a silver plate with the Gra Wun studio imprint and has been incised by hand with  "R.J. Graves - Feb '85". There is also a small incised mark at the base of the plate that we cannot identify. In lovely condition - plane has oxidized a bit with time, but a silver-cloth should shine it right up if that's the look you prefer.

Measures 7" H x 3.5" at the widest from the metal strip curve to the wood block edge. Block itself measures shy 1.75" square.
