AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This is a **double-carving from Ruby Zoisite / Anyolite**, in which an owl and a skull are carved into one stone.

**Material**
The stone is clearly Ruby-Zoisite. The base color is intense grass-green zoisite with black hornblende inclusions, veined with opaque, purple-pink spots and bands of ruby. The surface is fully high-gloss polished, making the colors appear saturated and the structure take on a light glittering, sugar-like appearance. Each piece has a unique distribution of green and pink.

**Form and carving**

It is a 2-in-1 sculpture:

**1. Front: The Skull**
Centrally on the front is a classic skull carved with deep eye sockets, incised nasal bridge, and a row of teeth with horizontal and vertical lines. The jaw line flows seamlessly into the owl's claws.

**2. Top and back: The Owl**
The rest of the image forms an owl that seems to hold or embrace the skull.

* **Top:** The head of the owl with two pointed ears, large eyes and a small beak exactly above the skull's forehead.
* **Sides and back:** The wings of the owl fold around the skull. The feather structure is indicated with long, curved grooves running from top to bottom.
* **Bottom:** The legs and talons of the owl are worked out beneath the skull's chin and form the stable base of the sculpture.

From the front you mainly see the skull; from the side and back you see a fully feathered owl.

It will be sent by insured and registered mail.
