Vtg Burl Wood Sea Turtle Large Root Hand Carved Sculpture Art Loggerhead Amazing:
$63.63
Today I am offering this fantastic vintage loggerhead sea turtle sculpture, hand carved out of a knot of burl wood.
A burl is a growth on a tree formed from unsprouted bud tissue. The burl forms large, knobby-looking growths on the base and trunk of the tree. Stress caused by injury, fungus, a virus, or insects creates intense grain patterns.
Through intricate cuts the artist has expertly captured the details of the turtle giving it a realistic look. From his wise old face, to his flippers, this creature is simply majestic.
Measurements are approximately 6\" wide from side to side, 4½\" deep from front to back, and about 4½\" high.
This awesome piece is in excellent vintage pre-owned condition. I see no chips, cracks or other flaws. There are of course imperfections in the natural wood, which adds to the charm.
The gnarly wood is super cool and very decorative. It will make an excellent addition to any sea life, turtle, or burlwood collection.
Please review all the pictures and zoom in for close-ups as they are an integral part of the description.
