This whimsical, handcrafted architectural sculpture by Cincinnati artist Ted Gantz evokes the charm of a miniature carousel or pagoda with striking visual presence. With its elegant silhouette and tiered ceramic base, it bears a strong resemblance to the iconic Twin Spires at Churchill Downs—making it a perfect conversation piece for collectors of regional or symbolic art.
Gantz’s signature style is present throughout: the tall, conical roof is glazed in alternating cobalt blue and white bands, topped by a gleaming metal finial that adds vertical drama. Beneath the roof, slender columns form an open-air arcade, perched above tiered ceramic rings that anchor the piece with architectural gravity.
