Description from the seller

Small decorative sculpture depicting a painted multicolored owl in wood

Decorative sculpture in carved and hand-painted wood, representing a stylized owl with a strong expressive impact. The work stands out for its accurate artisanal craftsmanship and for the lively use of polychromy, applied in a way that enhances both the carved shapes and the natural texture of the wood.
The subject is characterized by compact, well-proportioned volumes, with particular attention to the portrayal of the face and eyes, central elements of the composition that give personality and intensity to the gaze. The wings are enriched with shaded color fields, in shades of green, blue and ochre, creating a pleasant contrast with the warm wood background and giving visual depth to the whole.
The surface shows slight irregularities and marks of manual work, to be considered an integral part of the object's artisanal value. The painted patina is well preserved and helps to yield an authentic and decorative appearance, suitable for eclectic, boho contexts or for collections of wooden sculptures and ethnic objects.

A decorative object of character, ideal as an accent element on shelves, bookcases or small display spaces, capable of dialoguing with both contemporary and more traditional environments.

Very good conservation status, with normal signs compatible with age and artisanal craftsmanship.

Appropriate packaging and traceable shipping throughout Europe.
