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, it's to be treasured
Amazing, the talent and patience to make such an intricate and beatiful thing. Bigger than expected, and has hinged lid. I am going to buy other boxes from this collection. I have a suggestion for the artist (and any of the artists selling here): if there is sufficient space and doesn't affect your art, carve or write your name, initials, or a symbol, into your finished work. You should be recognized for your talent and exfraordinary skill.
