Hand-carved from solid granite stone, this sculpture depicts a serene female figure—likely Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers—emerging from a tapering rectangular plinth.
She is rendered with classical dignity, featuring a crown of deeply carved, high-relief roses and draped in a traditional stola with elegant, fluid folds. The natural granite displays a beautiful, weathered silver-grey patina with subtle mineral veining, offering both timeless aesthetic appeal and extreme durability for outdoor or indoor display.
The statue terminates in a sturdy, stepped integral base adorned with a decorative bead-and-reel or "ball" motif, ensuring stability. This piece is a sophisticated architectural statement, perfect for flanking a grand entryway, anchoring a conservatory, or serving as a focal point in a formal parterre garden. See less
