AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Round cat sculpture with a charming, some would say timid, face from the Montblanc family—behold the tip of its tail!
It is part of the CalbinoOz family, wooden sculptures carved from natural gourd grown in France.
This gourd has been emptied of its contents—seeds and skin—so it could be exported worldwide to biodiversity-protecting countries that do not accept any seeds, then restuffed with clay beads and recycled cardboard shavings to add weight and stabilize it.
Like many CalbinoOz sculptures, Leopold wears a small turtleneck sweater in a very pale washed-out blue, made with molded superfine wood cellulose, dried and painted. His pants were painted with a dry brush using three padded layers to give the look of fired pottery, and the whole piece was then protected with marine varnish. His bright eyes are made of blown glass.
Signature under the rump.
Materials: dried empty gourd wood, superfine wood cellulose, clay beads, blown glass, acrylic and water-soluble oil paints, protective varnish.
Dimensions approx.: H25 x W16 x D25 cm
Weight: 878 g
