Lapis Lazuli Horse Statue
About the Item
Crafted by a Chinese master carver, using the finest grade, all-natural lapis lazuli sourced from the mines of Afghanistan, this amazing sculpture captures the essence of motion, strength, and majestic beauty in a single form. The horse, frozen in a moment of ecstatic energy, rears up with forelegs gracefully suspended in the air while its hind legs ground it firmly to the earth. The flowing manes, depicted with meticulous detail, cascade behind, caught in the whirlwind of movement. The horse's facial expression is a study in realism, with big, curious eyes that seem to shimmer with life and vitality. Every muscle and bone structure is finely depicted, conveying the raw power and grace of the equine form. The robust tail sways elegantly, adding to the sense of dynamic motion. In the hands of a master artisan, this precious piece of royal blue gemstone lapis, became an artform that celebrates the bond between human and horse. 3.4 lbs.
