Miniature Handmade Soapstone Sea Lion Ornament - Collectable




SOLD

Small handmade soapstone figurine of a sea lion atop a rock. It is Canadian - half the label is still visible and there is enough to suggest it's handmade ("...la main"). I'm not sure of the maker - it does not appear to be a Wolf Original though, the label suggests another maker. Also, I cannot guarantee soapstone as many of these give the false impression they are hand carved when they are in fact cast from resin made with powdered stone. This does appear to be stone though as I have scraped a minute piece away from the base and it certainly didn't react like resin. It is though, in very good condition.
