Vintage Hand-Carved Soapstone Bird Sculpture – Folk Art Style – 12 cm
A charming vintage hand-carved bird sculpture with a beautifully smooth, stylised form and natural mottled colouring.
The sculpture has an organic brown-to-olive stone appearance with subtle variations and mineral-like markings. Its rounded, minimalist design gives it a wonderful tactile quality, while the flattened base allows it to stand securely on a shelf, desk or display cabinet.
