Gargoyle
Official Cafe Stone Carver
The Giglio is the symbol of Florence. This is about 21" square (53cm) , and the stone is 6 inches thick. Four inches go in the wall, and the relief is 2 inches. (5cm)
I couldn't go too delicate on the carving (especially the two flowers) due to the high relief and the fact that it goes outdoors on the face of a wall, with the extreme Chicago area weather conditions.
Still, I think the detail at the bottom is a bit out of balance with the lesser detail in the upper half. Your thoughts?
