"Radar Rat aka Sonic Rat or Spiral Rat". This work was spray painted on a metal door that was based on a road side surveillance box connected to a traffic light. Banksy used the same stencil with variations. Here the center of the spiral is not connected as seen on the other example.
This work is featured in the very much expected "Banksy Street Art Catalogue Raisonne" soon to be published. This work features on "Flickr Banksy Pool" which is basically informal auhentication.
