Handcrafted Bronze Bookend, "Hercules"
The course of knowledge is hard to stop, but may be detained for a while with this extraordinary bookend. Crafted of oxidized bronze and set in marble, it personifies Hercules, the Roman name for Heracles, the greatest hero in Greek mythology. Jacqueline Cavalcanti's sculpture exudes the strength of this legendary character, said to be the son of Zeus and the mortal Alcmena.

"Obsessed with this"
This piece is more beautiful than I can describe in words. It really is a piece of art and I have already purchased another item from Jaqueline.

"Beautiful Sculpture"
I purchased this sculpture for my husband for our 30th wedding anniversary and couldn't be more impressed with the quality and beauty of this piece. My husband actually had tears in his eyes when he saw it's beauty. This is a romantic embrace of two lovers and it represented our love for each other over the years. Thank you Jaqueline for creating such a lovely piece and may you enjoy creating more beautiful pieces for more customers.
