American School, In the Manner of Andy diPietro, "Abstract Wave," 20th c., carved wooden sculpture, on a rectangular mahogany base, H.- 20 in., W.- 25 in., D.- 16 in. Provenance: Palmira, the Estate of Sarkis Kaltakdjian (Sarkis Oriental Rugs), Prairieville, Louisiana.

Condition is consistent with age. There is some wood discoloration around wood pegs on bottom curve of wave. Additionally, there is one vertical (approximately 1 ½ inch) line scratch visible on top inner part of wave, as well as another line mark 2 inches to the right. The secondary mark could be from wood crack, but unsure. Overall, a very handsome example. __________________________________________________________________________ ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD "AS IS."
