This stunning piece comes with an Igloo Tag (Certified of Authenticity) and an igloo sticker.
This sculpture measures 12" long X 6" X 5". It's HUGE! It's a HEAVY piece too. VERY IMPRESSIVE!
The sculpture is made out of white marble.
The carving is completely perfect. No imperfections!
The movement and lines on this bear are extraordinary. Proportions are almost identical to that of a moving bear. This is what makes this piece so unique and valuable. The time and expertise it takes an artist to make these proportions perfect are endless. 90% of a carvings value is determined on its proportions.
This is a remarkable piece with textured waved lines passing through the body which really illuminate it in its entirety. It has very smooth and solid grains.
This is what caught my eye when I saw this piece:
1) The color is a beautiful white. Big white bears don't get carved often and are very valuable in the collectors world.
2) The size is big
The
proportions, the subject, and smooth polish and finish are
all without a doubt - perfect!
The
carving techniques used was done with very close attention
to detail and care, as the curves and edges are extremely smooth and
crisp.
NOTES:
**The
white spots are lights from a camera flash. We tried our very best to
eliminate this glare as much as possible, but the carving is so well
polished, that it is like a mirror.
***SHIPPING: Insurance is already included into the shipping price.
**We are always happy to combine shipping, second carving is shipped for free if combined**
We buy directly from the artist and can offer you better deals. The sculpture itself speaks for itself. The detail, the movement, the polish and shine. Outstanding!
