ABV900 <br> <br>A sculptural carved stone object combining organic and architectural forms, executed in richly variegated stone—likely alabaster or onyx. The composition features a stylized cluster of faceted, crystal-like uprights rising from a naturalistic base, paired with a shallow, bowl-form element supported by a small carved spanish figure. The stone displays striking banding in warm rust, caramel, and creamy white tones, creating a visually dynamic surface with natural translucency in lighter areas. <br> <br>The piece balances decorative and functional qualities: the shallow dish suggests use as an ashtray, incense holder, or small catchall, while the upright carved forms lend a modernist, almost abstract sculptural presence. The carving is smooth and polished, with crisp geometric facets contrasting against the softer, rounded contours of the base and dish. <br> <br>Material: <br> <br>Carved natural stone, likely alabaster or banded onyx <br>Polished finish highlights translucency and natural veining <br> <br>Function: <br> <br>Likely intended as an ashtray, incense burner, or decorative desk accessory <br>Could also function as a small vide-poche (catchall) <br> <br>Style & Period: <br> <br>Mid-20th century decorative object aesthetic <br>Reflects modernist influence with natural material emphasis <br> <br>Measures approx. 2-3 inches tall
