About the Item

A sculptural sphere of bold contrast and minimalist precision, hand-carved in Italy in the 1980s. Crafted from rich Nero Marquina marble, its deep black surface is naturally veined with white fossils and crystalline streaks, intersected by a precise inlay band of white Carrara marble—an elegant gesture of graphic restraint and architectural balance. This refined object functions equally as a contemplative decor piece or sophisticated paperweight. Its perfect geometry and striking monochrome palette lend a contemporary edge, ideal for styling in modernist, postmodern, or wabi-sabi inspired interiors.
