AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Carved stone owl on a natural quartz base. This elegant sculpture depicts a meticulously carved owl in a stone with warm brown tones, finely worked to highlight every feather with incredible precision. The vivid eyes, made with resin and black pigment and framed by a bright yellow circle, give depth and intensity to the creature’s gaze, a universal symbol of wisdom. The beak is carved in natural lapis lazuli, lending a striking, precious touch of color to the piece. The figure is firmly balanced on a solid base made from a splendid raw quartz formation with green and yellowish oxidations, bearing witness to the natural presence of copper and other minerals. The overall effect is that of an enchanted creature, silently watching the world from the summit of an primordial rock. The golden metal feet add further stability and a refined contrast between organic material and artisanal craftsmanship. A unique decorative piece, ideal for mineral collectors, lovers of totemic symbolism, or anyone wishing to bring into their home an object rich in energy, mystery, and natural beauty.
