After the original marble sculpture by the Italian sculptor, Antonio Canova, this large (seven and a quarter feet tall!) hand-carved limestone garden statue depicts the goddess, Venus, stepping out of her bath. The original was commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte and completed in 1802. Our statue, which is from circa 1860, was recently found at a chateau in Nice, France.

Carved Limestone Horsehead from Italy
Located in Dallas, TX
Hand-carved by an Italian stone mason, this quaint limestone horsehead has excellent proportions. The contour of the cheek, the thick mane, and the slightly open mouth give the head a sense of realism. Carved with amazing precision, the horse can stand upright (face up) without the aid of a stand. Of course, it can also be hung on a wall in the proper orientation. Decorative horse heads of this size were often seen hanging on the exterior wall of a horse barn.
