"Flight, " Beautifully Carved Stone Paperweight with Dove and Clouds
"Flight, " Beautifully Carved Stone Paperweight with Dove and Clouds

"Flight, " Beautifully Carved Stone Paperweight with Dove and Clouds

By Giuseppe Bessi, Brenda Putnam

Located in Philadelphia, PA

Highly distinctive and unique, this cylindrical paperweight is decorated on its upper surface with exquisitely detailed sculptural relief: a dove in flight, shown flying over a cluster of clouds and the word "FLIGHT." Although it shows a beautiful bird, storied in mythology and literature, this sculpture also hints at the flight of man, and the curving sides of the piece are decorated with Art Deco geometric forms, sharply incised into the stone. The artist was Brenda Putnam, who used this same image for one side of her well-known bronze medal, also entitled "Flight", issued in 1941 by the Society of Medalists...
