Vintage Hand Carved Stone Pelican Sculpture

Description

A beautifully carved vintage stone sculpture depicting a stylized pelican in an elegant, minimalist form. The artist reduced the bird to its essential silhouette-an elongated beak, smooth flowing contours, and softly abstracted facial details-creating a modern sculptural presence while preserving the unmistakable character of the pelican.
