Part sculpture, part lamp, this wonderful artwork pays tribute to the beauty of nature using a material of emotional significance for the artist. Hand-carved from a solid block of a distinctive limestone native to Lecce, in the Puglia region of Italy, it reveals intricate details as natural fossil and shell traces embedded within the stone come to light. Masterfully hand-chiseled, the led illumination placed inside enhances the exquisite pale-yellow hue and textured quality of this one-of-a-kind piece of art. Signed by the artist.
