About the Item

This elegant alabaster sculpture from the Oriental School depicts a fantastical creature, blending real and mythical elements in a display of artistic imagination. The luminous alabaster, known for its smooth finish and translucency, enhances the intricate carving, showcasing fine details that bring the creature to life. Once part of Jaime Trigo’s esteemed collection, this piece reflects his focus on unique works that merge mythology and craftsmanship. Likely inspired by regional narratives, it may have served as a talismanic object or decorative symbol of protection and prosperity. A testament to the Oriental School’s mastery, this sculpture captures the rich interplay of art and myth.
