Michael Petura, "Madcap Money" Size: 1.17" Price: SOLD


Michael Petura was one of the most prolific and talented jellyfish marble artists that we have had, but sadly we lost him to cancer in 2009. His jellyfish were all so life-like and fun to look at, very enjoyable. He always added bubbles around his jellies, and while this bothered me at first, I grew to love it over time as I understood that this was one of his ways of adding movement and life to the marble, showing the jelly in its natural watery environment. Now I can't imagine a Petura jelly without the bubbles!

His jellies are very hard to find now of course, and this is your opportunity to own a super fun example of one. It has a broader cap than most of his, with a nice green color (so money!), and the tentacles swirl around in a beautiful array below that mad cap. Super fun and affordable piece of marble history here! Signed 'MP 04'.
