Description from the seller

Decorative sculpture depicting an owl in natural granite

Sculpture in natural granite representing a stylized owl, crafted in full-round technique and characterized by a material expressiveness of great solidity and formal balance. The subject, universal symbol of wisdom, protection and vigilance, is interpreted with an essential but incisive language, enhancing the compact mass of the material and its natural grain.
The granite features a light speckled texture, with dark inclusions distributed evenly, which confer visual depth and an elegant natural color effect. The surfaces are carved with care, particularly in the rendering of the wings and plumage, where the incisions create a refined play of light and shadow, enhanced by the stone’s natural reflections.
The work is suitable both as an indoor decorative element, in contemporary, minimalist or natural environments, and as a sculptural presence in a garden or covered porch, thanks to the intrinsic resistance of granite to atmospheric agents. The carved base ensures stability and formal continuity with the body of the sculpture.
Solid, durable, timeless decorative object, suitable for residential contexts, professional studios or meditation spaces, where it can fully express its symbolic and material value.

Very good state of conservation, with no visible breaks or restorations.

Adequate packaging and traceable shipping throughout Europe.
