I have been looking for something to hang over the mantel of my fireplace. It couldn't be just anything because when I use the fireplace in the winter, the brick around it gets very hot. I have been looking for some kind of metal sculpture in my price range. When I saw this mozaic, I knew it was perfect. It adds color. It's very light, maybe just 4 pounds. Now I just have to figure out how to hang it on the brick.
