About the Item

Hand carved white alabaster sculpture of a nude woman reclining inside a clam shell with three winged putti carrying her aloft from shell laden waters. Signed to verso by the Italian 19th-20th century artist Prof. Umberto Stiaccini, Florence. The scallop shell represents the many different spiritual/ soul-filled pathways that lead to the universal center of all life-forms, also representing our internal personal journeys that we take. This can be used as a decorative sculpture and/or additionally as a table lamp. Colored light bulbs can be used if desired to enhance the effect of color and translucency of the alabaster and give it a glow or change in tone. Newly wired for US specs with a single candelabra socket to illuminate the shell. Natural specimen, marble statue, garden, cherub, naked, more lighting, cherubic, Belle Epoch.
