Full Scroll

This is a 2 foot by 1 foot what I call Full Scroll done on Monson Maine black slate with a weight of approx. 13.5 pounds.
This bas-relief carving, titled "Full Scroll," is a 2-foot by 1-foot artwork crafted from Monson, Maine black slate, weighing approximately 13.5 pounds. The design is an intricate, classical scrollwork composition reminiscent of European architectural ornamentation, likely influenced by Baroque or Rococo styles.

The upper portion features bold, symmetrical volutes (scroll-like curves) that frame a central lattice pattern, which is adorned with delicate floral and foliage elements. The scrolls extend downward, intertwining with additional decorative motifs, culminating in a detailed floral finial at the bottom. The high relief and deep carving techniques give the piece a striking sense of depth and texture.

Framed in an ornate silver border that complements the intricacy of the carving, this piece embodies timeless elegance and would appeal to collectors, interior designers, and lovers of historic architectural detail. Signed by the artist "L. Leger" this work stands as a testament to the craftsmanship and artistic mastery of bas-relief carving in slate.
