Key Features:

•  Hull: A smooth, elegantly curved boat hull with a scalloped or wave-patterned base that gives the impression of the vessel riding on water. The bottom is flat and polished for stable display.

•  Sails: The most striking feature is the set of layered, billowing sails carved in a dynamic, almost fluid style. They sweep upward and backward with beautiful openwork (pierced holes) that create lightness, depth, and allow light to pass through the translucent stone. The sails have soft, undulating edges reminiscent of both fabric and ocean waves.

•  Stylization: This version is more abstract and artistic than literal. The sails blend into wave-like forms, giving the entire sculpture a sense of motion — as if the boat is gliding swiftly through the sea.

•  Material & Finish: The stone is a creamy, luminous white with subtle translucent qualities and a mirror-like polish. The natural variations in the onyx create gentle tonal shifts that enhance the flowing design. The carving is intricate yet harmonious, with excellent craftsmanship visible in the delicate pierced details.
