Conundrum III

is the only metal sculpture on earth composed of 20 different metals! Nearly impossible to assemble without using the photograph; designed to anihilate all attempts to unlock this puzzle cube without knowing the secrets of the special key. This colorful cube can also be used as an unobtrusive hiding place for something small.

Mini-Conundrum

is a 2 inch, 17 element version of my most colorful cube sculpture and is composed of half a dozen different metals. This versatile sculpture can be upgraded to a Mini-Conundrum X2 by obtaining 27 additional pieces at a later date and this upgrade converts it into an altogether different puzzle with a dozen or more different metals, more coloration and a somewhat larger size! In addition to my standard patina finishes, occasionally I offer a Mini-Conundrum sculpture with a stunning polished multi-colored exterior.
