Sight Height 12.5 in., Width 6 in., Depth 4 in. Including Base Height 13.5 in., Width 8 in., Depth 6 in. Kinetic sculpture titled Armadillos by American artist Charles Ringer, dated 1993. Constructed of fabricated and assembled metal components mounted on a wooden base, the work features articulated elements designed to move, characteristic of late 20th-century American kinetic sculpture. Signed and dated by the artist. The composition reflects the tradition of modern mechanical sculpture, emphasizing motion, balance, and playful natural subject matter. The armadillo motif suggests a blend of whimsy and industrial craftsmanship, typical of artist-fabricators working in metal during the 1980s–1990s.
