Finely Carved Italian Limestone Statue of a Woman Holding a Bird

About the Item

This finely carved statue depicts a woman holding a bird close to her chest. It was hand-carved in Italy from one block of stone. The solemn woman can be seen kneeling on her left knee above a large rectangular plinth. An ankle-length garment has gathered around her torso and is tied at the waist. Just above the bundled fabric, the woman has her arms crossed tightly on her chest, with a small bird clutched between her hands. Her head is angled downwards as if she were looking at the ground. At 28 inches tall, our statue of a woman holding a bird can be placed directly on the floor (as photographed). She can also be elevated onto a table or pedestal, making a stunning piece of art observable at eye level.

  • Carved Limestone Horsehead from Italy
    Located in Dallas, TX
    Hand-carved by an Italian stone mason, this quaint limestone horsehead has excellent proportions. The contour of the cheek, the thick mane, and the slightly open mouth give the head a sense of realism. Carved with amazing precision, the horse can stand upright (face up) without the aid of a stand. Of course, it can also be hung on a wall in the proper orientation. Decorative horse heads of this size were often seen hanging on the exterior wall of a horse barn.
