Hand Carved Animal Figure, Rat Talisman for Home

About the Item

The Urals in Russia are rich in semi-precious stones, so this region has become one of the leaders among the Russian "workshops" of artistic carving on marble, jasper, rhodonite, rock crystal and other ornamental stones. The beginning of the path of widespread dissemination of stone-cutting art in Russia dates back to the end of the 18th century. The tradition of the Ural art stone carving still exists. Skilled craftsmen of the MOISEIKIN not only preserve, but also develop the tradition, using the latest technologies and creativities to make original stone-cut sculptures. Carved animal figurines were popular tradition even for the royal families. They were collected and admired as part of family. Mice and rats figurines were also popular as they were symbols of fertility and wealth. A Rat on Sour Cream is carved out of one piece of Ural jasper having unique 2 colour patterns. Adorable facial feature and the hair are very detailed. MOISEIKIN's animal figurines are first made by a skillful and artistic sculptor and followed by gem expert to select stones and carved by an experienced cutters and gem sculptor. We wish this Rat on Sour Cream will be a great talisman for your lovely home. Clever rat will always find delicious food in home.
