At the top of this gilded bronze seal is a flat circular disk containing the negative impression of the seal. The seal sits on top of a long, tapered neck. At the point where the neck and seal meet are droplets and twisting elements of gilded bronze. These elements continue about a quarter of the way down the neck. About halfway down, the neck begins to expand into the base. Raised lines fall down the neck, swirling at the base outward like a propeller. They expand outward as the base expands outwards beyond the neck of the seal creating a disk. The effect recalls waves in the water. At one side of the circular base a swirling line seems to splash over the edge, as an area of the gilded bronze breaks the plane of the base with swirls and droplet-like forms.

An ornate and abstracted floral and petal designed brass and gold door pull. A high central flurry of ringlets and abstract florets sit atop a concaved central plane which is embellished with minute swirls of abstracted whirls and curls and which are layered with abstracted foliage carvings. The edges of the central panel scroll out like a petal of a flower but it is abstracted and asymetrical. The tightly swirled and ringlet bud like forms fall within the layered planes of the concave central panel. Projecting from this panel are abstracted, tightly curled and linear forms that appear to pass through other abstracted sections of more bud like forms and that finally root into the panel of its base. Although made of brass and gold its formations appear as malleable as clay. The work is inspired by nature and it is Art Nouveau.
