(6) Miniature Alabaster Alligator Carvings – Handcrafted Stone Figures
A delightful group of six small hand-carved alligator figurines, sculpted from natural alabaster stone. Each piece exhibits slight variations in tone, ranging from creamy ivory to warm honey, with occasional translucent or veined inclusions typical of this soft, fine-grained material. The carvings are stylized and angular, capturing the alligator’s form in a simplified, folk-inspired manner.
Crafted without maker marks or labels, these miniature figures are likely artisan or souvenir pieces, ideal for collectors of stone animals or decorative natural objects. Their compact scale makes them suitable for display in curio shelves or tabletop arrangements.
Condition
In good condition overall, with minor surface wear from age and handling. One figure (approx. 2½" x 1") has a small 1/8" chip on the front leg. Natural surface variation and tooling marks are visible, consistent with hand-carving.
Dimensions
- Smallest: 1½" long × ⅝" wide
- Largest: 3½" long × 1⅛" wide
- Total Weight: 3.3 oz (all six pieces)
