"La Immaculada, " Polychromed Mid-19th Century Figural Carving
Located in West Palm Beach, FL
Figural wooden carving of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Immaculate Conception). Carved in folkloric style, this well-preserved statue retains its original coat of polychrome paint.

The sculpture's facial features include glass eyes and eyelashes.

Located in Cincinnati, OH
This striking amphora Art Nouveau vase was made in the Turn-Teplitz region of Bohemia by Riessner, Stellmacher & Kessel, established in 1892.

The body of the vase rests upon a raised pedestal foot decorated with a series of intertwined stylized roots. The neck and foot have been glazed in a matte green color with burnished gold highlights. The body of the vase is flanked by a pair of arched gilded handles made in the form of naturalistic woody branches.
The body of the vase has been finished in a mottled matte glaze executed in a dull gold color enabling the cream color beneath to show through. The center of the vase transitions to a violet hue which is covered by a high glaze iridescent band having pink and purple undertones. The iridescent band features an armorial crest executed in black accented with gilded details. The crest itself consists of a checkerboard shield surmounted by a trio of stylized flowers with a spade motif, all of which are flanked by lions rampant. The design includes a series of large dots arrayed in a symmetrical manner. The opposite side of the vase echoes the motif found on the front and has a checkerboard shield, nine spade-shaped flowers and several dots.
The vase is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks or repairs. As an antique item, the piece shows minor signs of age and use consisting of wear to the gilded decoration. The vase stands 11.75" tall and is 2.25" across the mouth. The foot is just over 5" in diameter and bears impressed marks including a circular ''Imperial Amphora Turn...

Indian Gujarat Hand Carved Temple Carving Statue Depicting a Woman and a Feline
Located in Yonkers, NY
An Indian early 20th century hand carved architectural temple carving from Gujarat, depicting a woman and a feline. Crafted in the Western portion of India in the state of Gujarat, this exquisite early 20th-century hand-carved temple sculpture captivates with its depiction of a woman and her feline companion. The woman, adorned with a delicate headdress and wearing intricate clothes and jewelry, stands in a frontal position, her head slightly tilted to the side. She holds a small musical instrument, suggesting a scene of serene artistry and cultural richness. Accompanying her is a stylized feline, adding an element of mystique and charm to the piece.
