Spain, 1970-1973 nickel-plated bronze, mirrored glass, brass 22 w x 24½ d x 9 h in (56 x 62 x 23 cm)
This rare design unfolds from a minimal box, becoming a mirrored jewelry chest with sixteen felt-lined drawers and hinged mirrors.
The central motif is an homage to Paloma Picasso, with the brass head becoming a wearable bracelet. Although numbered 2000, the limited edition was never completed and far fewer examples exist. Impressed signature to vanity: [iara 369/2000 Berrocal Berrocal] and impressed to bracelet: [Berrocal 3099]. literature: Antologica Berrocal (1955-1984), Gallego, ppg. 220, 232-234
