Good vintage. Crisp hand-carved detail and high polish, with natural veining, inclusions, and fissures throughout the stone; no chips noted.
A chunky little owl hand-carved from a single piece of natural stone, with tufted ears, big incised concentric eyes, and rows of scalloped feather carving across the breast. The stone is a warm mottled brown and tan shot through with smoky grays, dendritic black inclusions, and pale healed veins — no two are alike, and the high polish makes the whole thing glow. A characterful paperweight or shelf owl for a desk, bookcase, or windowsill, and an easy yes for anyone who collects owls or natural stone.
