Stylized art done as seen through the eyes of an Artist. Canadian Visionary design Artist/Architect - FRANCOIS DALLEGRET. Metal, heavy Zinc with Antique Brass Finish. Little card still with it as well as the original Box. Not sure of the year. Last pic I just used a *Flash* for the pic....

ADDITIONAL INFO ( found by PhilDavidAlexanderMorris pt #5 ), THANK YOU
Canadian Design Resource says, " This heavy cast bronze stylized maple leaf was an Air Canada executive gift item in the late 1980’s or 1990, I believe. An elegant and sharp cast and machined leaf-within-a-leaf. About 4 inches long.'

============================================
This is VERY nice! I'm curious about the measurements and what it might be used for? Small like a paperweight or real big for a mounting on the wall?
It is about 5 inches by 5 inches. I guess maybe a paperweight of sorts....and there is a place where a screw can be put in to hang on the wall. So I personally think either, as just depends on the Person. Thanks
That is truly and interesting piece!!
I might even use it as my Avatar ( the first pic posted here ) as I like it.
This has some weight to it -- Yeah, Kinda Neat -- I might have to even *love* it myself.....LOL
stunning!!!

@PhilDavidAlexanderMorris - Thanks for finding that info. Amazing!! I could not find anything about him and this maple leaf. So Thank you very much!!
ALSO - I am going to change my Avatar to this Maple leaf because I like the pic, the look, the EH thing, and I will use/leave it as my Avatar for you
WOW Phil -- Thanks. Like I said, I was not finding anything about it. Thank goodness the paper thing was inside it. It still has the Box to it -- but their is NO writing or anything on the Box at all. I know it is the original box for it, as at the bottom is the shape of the Maple leaf to sit in. So the Item is Complete.
Always a Good thing when it comes to collectibles --> being Complete
Thanks for the ~ LOVES ~
