This exquisite lemur sculpture is hand-carved from solid wood and hand-painted in an elegant palette of white, black, gray, and gold. The artist has taken the liberty of presenting their unique interpretation of this interesting animal, endemic to the island of Madagascar, famous for living in female-led groups that communicate using a wide variety of sounds and also through their keen sense of smell.
The lemur is depicted standing on its hind legs, with one of its front paws tucked in. Its body and head are tilted backward, which, along with its expressive face, suggests an attitude of caution. The long tail is held aloft, perhaps serving as a flag to help keep the group together as they travel.
With the artist's special touch, also expressed in the inclusion of the owl figure—the ancient communicator between the world and underworld in Zapotec culture—which enhances the magical character of the piece.
A beautiful piece that would be a wonderful addition to any home or office, and is sure to bring a smile and spark conversations about its unique design. Its size makes it perfect for those seeking a high-impact piece, adding visual interest and sparking curiosity about art and animals.
