About the Item
Hand-carved in Italy, this limestone plaque depicts a pair of rampant ibex in front of an expansive grapevine. This scene is most likely an interpretation of a sixth-century Sasanian (Persian) stucco plaque that can be seen in the Louvre.
The pierced background indicates that the stone carver is a master-level artisan, able to delicately excise small portions of the stone to render a visually stunning work of art. A cavetto border, embellished with fluting, encircles the rectangular stone, giving additional flair. The stone has a lovely cream patina, allowing the plaque to be paired with just about any color palette. Our limestone plaque of rampant ibex can be incorporated architecturally into a wall or used as an amazing sculptural piece of art either indoors or outside.

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.
