    While they look edible, the pieces are made of high-quality UV-resistant epoxy resin.

    MATERIAL & CONDITION

    Surface

    Extremely smooth, high-gloss finish on the resin popsicles; matte to semi-gloss white frame and backing. The resin provides a watery, glass-like depth.

    Weight & Feel

    Substantial; the combined weight of the resin components and the deep shadowbox frame suggests a significant hang-weight.

    Condition

    Appears to be in excellent gallery condition. No visible yellowing of the resin or scuffs on the frame.
