Lot 354: A Hand-Carved Alabaster and Onyx Figural Group of Animals and a Classical Figure

A decorative hand-carved stone group mounted on a single rectangular plinth. The composite assembly features three animals and a human figure: a lion in a walking pose, a central elephant with its trunk raised, and a smaller animal resembling a pig or boar. Positioned behind the elephant is a female figure in classical-style draped attire. The figures are carved from multiple varieties of translucent stone, including peach-cream and pale green-white alabaster or onyx. The base is a solid rectangular block of white stone with bevelled upper edges. A small rectangular adhesive label on the elephant is inscribed with the digits 12705 and 3.
