Beautiful!
These are lovely. The soapstone has natural color gradations, with some lovely touches of pale pink and light grey intermingling with the medium grey that predominates. They are substantial pieces, and the talent and artistry of the sculptor is obvious. The owls are identical in size, but there are individual variations that make it easy to see each is one of a kind. I was also delighted to see that the upright portion on each bookend is actually carved to resemble a book! Delightful!
Unique item for cat lovers
As a lover of cats and ethnic arts, I couldn't resist this doll. In fact, I've bought one for myself, as a gift for a cat-loving friend who did me a big favor and to donate to the fundraiser for a local cat rescue, where it sold for more than its retail value in the silent auction. It's a truly beautiful item (the painting is exquisite).
