Description :

Substantial carved alabaster sculpture depicting a young child seated atop an anvil, rendered with soft modeling, expressive detail, and the characteristic translucence of high‑quality alabaster. The figure holds a small hammer, evoking themes of early craftsmanship and industrious charm.

The statue is presented on an impressive 19th‑century onyx pedestal, composed of stacked, architectural tiers with warm veining and a square base that adds both height and classical presence. Together, the heavy alabaster figure and richly colored onyx pedestal form a striking decorative ensemble with strong visual impact and period elegance.

Condition: Good overall condition with light wear. The left big toe has been previously repaired (reattached); repair is visible on close inspection but presents well. No other significant damage observed.





Statue- 22T x 13.5 W 

Stand- 40 T x 11 x 11
