Nilia Miniature Sculpture

Handcrafted of French materials, artist Salome Cousseau's oak wood sculpture is adorned with sunstones and silver-leaf-covered glass spheres. Born in the Loire Valley, Salome Cousseau studied decorative arts and fashion design in Paris. As the daughter of a cabinetmaker, she grew up surrounded by wood, making it only natural that this artist shows such an innate understanding of this complex element. Sunstones held in place with gold-plated brass pins. 6 3/4"H.
