Mid-Century Modern Abstract Carved Stone Biomorphic Sculpture

This is an original hand-carved abstract stone sculpture, likely soapstone, alabaster, or nephrite jade based on its soft luster and sage-green to grayish-white coloration. The piece features a biomorphic, organic shape characterized by a central negative space (pierced aperture) that echoes the soft, undulating curves of the stone. The surface has been polished to a moderate sheen, though it retains a naturalistic, waxy texture with visible internal inclusions and subtle marbling throughout. The structure is asymmetrical, suggesting a modernist influence reminiscent of the works of Barbara Hepworth or Henry Moore. The sculpture is mounted on a contemporary rectangular frosted glass or acrylic base via a black metal post. The condition appears fair to good; there are some visible nicks, minor abrasions, and pitting on the upper rounded edges, which are common with soft-stone carvings of this age. There are no readily visible signatures or maker's marks, characterizing it as a unique studio piece from the mid-to-late 20th century. The craftsmanship indicates a high level of technical skill in managing the stone's translucency and fragility while achieving a balanced, harmonious form.
