Royal made his name internationally with his lovely sculptures of quails. This appealing little sculpture is a great example of his work.
Royal achieves the stippling effect for the feathers using a chasing hammer, which has little teeth. He strikes the stone with perfect precision over and over, almost like sculpture pointillism. He creates the contrasting shiny black finish of the eyes and beaks by sanding the stone smooth and then applying clear wax.
It’s fantastic value for an original work of art, and it would make a great gift. As with all Guruve’s artworks, it comes with a certificate of authenticity. Additionally, we provide a copy of Royal’s biography with a photo of him with this actual piece.
Springstone is the local name for a hard variety of serpentine stone. It is dense and durable, with small grains, and rarely has any imperfections, making it a superb sculpture medium. In its raw form, the stone is a pale matt charcoal grey.
