This vintage hand-carved possibly alabaster sculpture depicts a reclining nude woman holding a classical-style water vessel on her shoulder. The figure is shown in a relaxed pose, with one arm raised behind her head and the other supporting the jug. The piece features finely incised details in the hair and vessel, along with a smooth, softly contoured body that highlights the natural qualities of alabaster stone.
The carving shows signs of age, with some natural surface wear and minor chips, particularly along the base and edges, consistent with vintage handling. The warm ivory-toned stone, with areas of darker patination in the recessed details, enhances the sense of depth and realism.
Likely dating from the mid-20th century, this sculpture reflects a neoclassical influence and would make an elegant decorative accent on a shelf, desk, or display cabinet.
