The heavily textured mottled brown, taupe and cream surface gives the piece an earthy, almost archaeological appearance, while the stylized female bust and exaggerated proportions create a distinctly modernist sculptural presence.

A raised candle socket is positioned at the center of the broad upper platform. The substantial form and unusual figural design allow the piece to function beautifully as both a candle holder and a standalone decorative sculpture.

The underside is stamped “MADE IN ITALY” directly into the piece. Maker is unknown.

Vintage condition with age-related surface wear, discoloration, small areas of finish/glaze loss and other imperfections consistent with age and handmade character. Please review photographs closely, as they form an important part of the condition description.

Approximately 9” high with a base approximately 5” wide. Weight approximately 1 lb. 7.6 oz. See less
