A whimsical industrial folk art figure constructed from an eclectic mix of vintage tobacco tins and reclaimed components, forming a characterful “Baccy Bot.”

The head is fashioned from a Three Nuns tobacco tin, complete with applied googly-style eyes, while the torso is created from an Exmoor Hunt mixture tin, giving the piece a strong vintage advertising presence.

The arms are formed from metal rods with spanner ends, reinforcing the mechanical, workshop-inspired aesthetic, while the legs utilise tubular elements mounted onto a vintage tin base with domino-style feet, adding an extra layer of playful detail.

The combination of aged tins, metal hardware, and found materials results in a highly individual piece with both humour and visual impact.

This handcrafted assemblage sculpture reflects the tradition of upcycled folk art, where everyday objects are transformed into imaginative decorative forms.

Each element contributes to the personality of the piece, making it a distinctive one-off.
