Rare Peru South America Wood Sculpture Mermaid Water Goddess. Mesmerizing wood sculpture by noted South American artist, Peruvian Edilberto Guerrero. 17 inches in height, sculpted from one piece of gualtaco wood that was sustainably gathered from a downed tree. Very heavy with lovely grain. Looks fabulous no matter what angle it is viewed from. The lady is something of mermaid or water creature. A little bit of light chipping to tail, but really not important.

The subject is the Madonna and child seated on a bench while sharing a platter of grapes. The attention to detail is superb with expressive features, curly hair on the infant, exquisitely draped fabrics, and distinct fingers and toes. The colors, too, are sensational. Beautiful blue robes with a crimson blouse and white head scarf, trimmed in lustrous gold. And of course those purple grapes. It is signed on the back of the bench with a carved M. I asked the Bing chat bot about the imagery of grapes and the Madonna, its conclusion follows. When a Madonna statue holds grapes, it signifies her role as the mother of Christ, the true vine, and the source of the Eucharist, the blood of the new covenant. It also expresses her faithfulness and fruitfulness as a disciple of Christ, who remains in him and bears much fruit. Grapes are a symbol of the spiritual nourishment and joy that Christ offers to those who abide in him and his love. It measures about 5 tall. The base is about 3″ wide by 2-1/5″ deep. (Note: measurements are approximate). It is in good vintage condition (especially when considering it is more than 70 years old). There are no cracks or repairs. It shows age appropriate wear and tear including scuffs, scratches, and dings. There is minor bumping to a few corners and high points. The surface has an aged patina and there is dust accumulation in the recesses. The paint is all original. The colors look great and the gold has good shine. The paint and gold highlights have minor wear and rubbing. There is a notable ding on a fold of the blue robe under her left knee (photo 14). It presents well and is suitable for display.

Buffalo Bison Ironwood Art Hand Carving 10 Lodge Decor South Western Solid Wood. Ironwood carving is a unique form of art from the Sonoran Desert of Southern Arizona and Northern Mexico. It was handcrafted from desert Ironwood, a very dense and heavy wood of intriguing origin. To be suitable for carving, the wood must be exposed to the extremes of the climatic conditions that exist only in the desert. Years of exposure in this hot, dry environment cause the natural resins to collect, condense and cure, thus transforming the wood into very dense and heavy Ironwood. The government has prohibited the harvesting of living Ironwood trees, causing the artisans to search extensively for naturally fallen trees. No green wood is suitable or used for carving. 10 x 3.5 x 10 inches Front is carved rustic and polished on the back Beautiful Modern piece of Americana art Weighs about 4 lbs Pet and smoke free.
