Nature's own sculpture. This is the tail unit from a UK 1000lb bomb - from what I can tell, this type of bomb was used in various forms and adaptations from the end of WW2 through the Cold War - when this particular piece was produced I don't know but would guess it to be c.1940s/'50s. 

 

It stands just shy of 1m high and has been subjected to an impact (hopefully during testing) that has crumpled the thick metal body as if it were a paper cup along with that the fins are folded in and partially pulled from their rivets.

 

Over the decades the paint has faded and exposed areas started to rust - it has a shape, surface and colour that just couldn't be replicated and makes for a definite statement piece perfectly suited for display in a garden or similar. 

 

It measures approximately 95cm high x 70cm wide x 45cm deep.
