Embrace the enchanting allure of this breathtaking limited edition sculpture, one of only a hundred created, depicting the mystical Kinnaree woman. A revered figure in Thai literature, the Kinnaree is celebrated for her mesmerizing portrayal as a beautiful amalgamation of woman and swan. While her upper body embodies the grace and elegance of a woman, her delicately tapered waist cascades into the body, tail, legs, and wings of a swan, exuding an ethereal charm that is uniquely captivating. Despite its inspiration drawn from the revered Kinnaree, this particular sculpture deviates from the traditional depictions found in ancient Thai art, presenting a one-of-a-kind interpretation that radiates its own distinct charm and character.

Perched gracefully atop a solid black marble base, the sculpture's elegant tail extends in a sweeping 3/4 circle, seamlessly merging with the female form under a delicate skirt-like embellishment. Delicately crafted swan feet dangle from the bottom of her body, while her lean and curvaceous upper torso captivates with its refined detailing and intricate contours. The exquisitely detailed facial features mirror the elegance of a traditional Thai woman, with sleek, alluring eyes and a strikingly detailed head adorned with three whimsical feathers that gracefully extend upward from her hairline. Completing the captivating ensemble, the sculpture boasts two grand, meticulously detailed wings, each feather meticulously rendered to create a stunning visual cascade down the expanse of the wings. With its rich antique patina finish and intricate craftsmanship, this sculpture is a true testament to the artistry of its creator, signed by the renowned artist Marius.
