“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!

“Beautiful, delightfu!, and meaningful!”

I ordered these in addition to the soapstone carved box. I have a thing for elephants. They are beautifully carved and hold a carving within a carving. There is another smaller elephant just visible within. For me, it symbolically represents each of our species carry the future within, along with the wisdom and the hope to endure and survive. Elephant figurines with their trunks curved down represent wisdom and the abiity to overcome obstacles. I would like to think they speak to the even deeper wisdom carried within.....Ancestral and what is even deeper within us that is available to us to draw upon.
