"SYLVAN MASQUETTE"
Dimensions: 148mm(H) x 95mm(W) x 56mm(D)
One of the original pieces from the NightWing series by sculptor Ray Cologon. This beautiful
sculpted miniature mask is meticulously hand carved, inside and out (to a thickness of
several millimetres), from a solid block of English Lime wood.
The piece draws on Celtic lore and legends to portray the benevolent and watchful features
of one of the traditional guardians of the forest - the Sylvan wood sprites, whose souls,
according to legend, were embodied within a tree upon their passing from the mortal realm,
and could be revealed from within the timber in due time by the hands of an artist of
sufficient skill.
Like all the pieces in the NightWing Series, this original sculpture is provided with its
own elegant hand-made presentation box which is lined with velvet and includes a signed,
numbered and dated parchment certificate.
