Item Details

we are proud to offer one of the most unusual examples of a European hand carved stone boss. In the form of a vampire / grotesque. The paint is correct for the period as is the structural form. Made from solid stone and gesso material with hand painted detail. This example would have been displayed internally in a ceiling likely accompanied by numerous similar forms. This architectural artifact bares an inscription of some form on the base but is unclear as shown in the photos provided.

Size in inches: H 7” x W 7.5” x D 7”

Period: Early 19th Century

Material: Stone

Origin: Europe

Item Condition
Completely solid in structure and form, the surface is well aged displaying a natural patina with faded paint and surface wear as shown. Its exceedingly difficult to photograph all the areas in this piece, therefore we strongly suggest reviewing all the photos provided as part of this advert and propose questions where sections are unclear to avoid disappointment.
