Resting on an architectural, highly stylized variegated Siena marble plinth, this dense 33-pound centerpiece features an impressive array of intricate dimensional textures.

Every single element of this fine art sculpture is meticulously hand-chiseled from a singular solid block of fine white statuary stone. The soft, supple anatomy of her face and neck contrasts beautifully with the complex, deep relief carvings of her hair—arranged in dramatic Neo-Renaissance ringlet side curls and bound securely with flowing carved ribbons.

The weight, cool-to-the-touch surface texture, and beautiful translucency under ambient lighting perfectly validate its authentic solid stone provenance. With its timeless classical palette and rich earth-toned mineral veining running through the Siena base, this museum-grade statement piece serves as an imposing focal element on a fireplace mantel, an executive library bookshelf, or a luxury entryway console table.
