Tiger's Eye Bird Sculpture (mid-20th Century)
This exceptional artwork, dating from the mid-20th century, perfectly illustrates the refinement of hardstone carving of that era. It depicts two birds of paradise sculpted with masterful precision from a single block of prime tiger's eye. The stone displays an intense chatoyancy, oscillating between deep brown and pure gold. The wooden base, typical of handcrafted pieces from the 1950s and 60s, is adorned with delicate silver wire inlays representing stylized clouds. This captivating piece combines mineral strength with naturalistic delicacy, making it a decorative object that is both historical and timeless.
