"Rattlesnake" is a masterfully carved sculpture rendered from soapstone, capturing the poised tension and coiled readiness of this formidable reptile. Measuring 8 inches in all dimensions and weighing 13 pounds, the piece showcases the artist's ability to bring the stone to life through intricate detailing. The snake's scales are meticulously etched, creating a textured realism that highlights the natural beauty and patterns of the soapstone.
