akroorka Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 Awesome, if you can show the complete opposite side of the lower left image it may help anyone with an ID. If it is there already, just point it out. If there is any damage or chips it may help to show these as well. I will have to dig through a few books to see what it may be. Whatever it is, we do not see many like this. Great job once again. Marble—On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'llhavethat1 Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 Pretty sure there was a modern artist in Europe making these out of clay and using similar techniques to vintage end covers in books. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
