19th Century Italian Marble Sculpture of the Goddess Flora by Ernesto Gazzeri
Located in London, GB
A Marble Sculpture of Flora
By Ernesto Gazzeri
Carved from statuary marble, the veiled maiden standing on a rocky outcrop on a circular base, her flowing dress billowing in the wind as she holds a bunch of flowers in her right arm; her eyes downcast at the single flower in her left hand. Signed to the base "E. Gazzeri / Studio O Andreoni Roma."

Very Large 19th Century North-Western Indian Carved Wood Totem Pole
Located in Germantown, MD
A very large 19th century North-Western Indian figural Carved Wood Totem Pole.
This very rare Pole measures 8" in diameter and stands 7.5 feet tall. This is one of the rare historic Totem pole that survived the late 19th century ban of Totem poles. Nearly all Totem-pole-making had ceased by 1901. Carving of monumental and mortuary poles continued in some, more remote villages as late as 1905; however, as the original sites were abandoned, the poles and timber homes were left to decay and vandalism. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, before the passage of the American Indian Religious...

Monumental Mexican Carved Polychrome Mermaid Dance Mask, Folk Art Sculpture
Located in Forney, TX
A magnificent life-size Mexican folk art hand carved and painted wood body dance mask, in the form of a mermaid, dating to the early 20th century, most likely originating in Guerrero, Mexico.

Large Indonesian Hand Carved Singa Singa Tribal Carving from Sumatra
Located in Yonkers, NY
A large antique hand carved tribal 19th century sculpture from the Batak People, northern Sumatra, called a Singa Singa with painted accents.

By Chaim Gross
Located in New York, NY
Signed CH.GROSS on the plinth with the artist's "fox stamp" below, and on the bottom of the base, as well.
A beautifully carved modernist wood sculpture by well known and highly collectible New York artist, Chaim Gross (1904-1991). It is one of ten small versions of a 29" sculpture in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The sculpture is made of Lignum Vitae wood.

Due to its extreme hardness, the wood of such a tree is often used for making pulley blocks, mallet heads, bearings, etc.
