This 1970s door stopper is crafted entirely from solid brass with a high-polished surface and a striking design—a radiant anthropomorphic sun face surrounded by intricately shaped rays. The sun motif, with its enigmatic and gentle expression, is rendered in relief, featuring pronounced contours and carefully sculpted rays that fan outward beyond the facial outline. The brass displays a warm golden tone, complemented by a uniform, noble patina that catches the changing play of light on joints and raised surfaces. The round sun form is mounted on a solid, stepped square plinth, ensuring both stability and a well-balanced profile, while a slender rod rises above, ending in an ornate decorative handle reminiscent of a classic key. All visible connections are precisely cast, with no apparent screws or welds, attesting to the careful craftsmanship. Originating from India and representative of the eclectic inspirations of late mid-century modern decorative arts, this piece presents in excellent condition—near original, with only minimal age-related patina and virtually no wear, damage or repairs.
The design echoes the narrative of the 1970s, when symbolism and playful eclecticism often found their way into everyday accessories. The sun's softly smiling face seems to invite both light and bright moods into its setting, blending utility with a discreet hint of mystery. The brass, alive with subtle reflections, shifts character with the daylight: the shadows cast across the relief transform the object into a small theatre
