This sculpture was created by Peter in the late 1950s and led to a series of sculptures he created in the 1960s. There were only two others that closely fit with this "geometric" modernist style, but many others followed that also had elements of this geometry worked into them. To this day, much of Peter's and Daniel's jewelry contain and reflect this design aesthetic, making this particular sculpture a very important piece.
