AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Large decorative sculpture depicting an owl, made of natural stone such as alabaster/onyx, carved and polished.

The owl features exceptionally detailed feather work, with different natural tones from cream to gray and honey. The large glass eyes, yellow and black, are very distinctive.

The sculpture rests on a rectangular, multi-level base, also in stone. A rather substantial and heavy object: over 3.5 kg.

Dimensions:
Height: 23 cm
Width: 13 cm
Depth: 14 cm
Weight: 3.539 g

Period: second half of the 20th century
Material: alabaster/onyx and glass
Provenance: presumably Italian manufacture
Conditions: vintage, with normal signs of wear and use visible in the photos. No signature or mark detected on the bottom.

Beautiful decorative sculpture for a collection, particularly impressive in size, weight, and the natural veining of the stone.
