About the Item

Majestic marble mask depicting Neptune, 19th century From Venice, private collection. The type of marble used is very unique: it is rich in sulfur, which produces sparks during processing, which is why it was known in ancient times as the "devil's marble." The work depicts the face of the god Neptune, with two dolphins beneath. This is a unique sculpture, highly prized and exclusive. With obsessive attention to detail and precision, it can also be used as a fountain spout. The marble's grain is spectacular, and it has a magnificent patina. This is a high-quality piece, truly unique. It is in excellent condition, intact. It will be shipped in a wooden crate, properly packaged. Affordable, secure, and tracked shipping worldwide is available. Dimensions: - Length 90 cm - Width 85 cm - Thickness 13 cm Weight 100/150 kg.
