Wow… take a look at this amazing carving of gnomes or trolls – I’m not sure which!

According to the auctioneer, this is Icelandic lava sculpture but he had no further information regarding the piece.

So all I know is that it’s about 18″H x 24″W, and as much as 3.5″ D in places.  (That’s an eyeball estimate; I haven’t actually measured it… the past few weeks have been wicked busy between this business and my other – primary – business!)

I tried researching using every search term I could think of, with no luck, and I couldn’t find anything even remotely similar on Worthpoint, eBay or any other site.

But wow!  Just look at the detail! 

Icelandic folklore is heavy into trolls and gnomes, and I had thought that perhaps these were gnomes.  However, when I posted a plea for information on Facebook, a friend says they are trolls (bad guys!)… which kind of shows in their facial expressions, right?

Anyway, the piece is very heavy yet probably fragile on the surface.

I love love love it and would love to see it go to someone who is as fascinated by folklore as I am.

Shipping & Delivery:  Shipping this item is not recommended because it is extremely heavy for its size but we’re also concerned that the surface may be fragile.  This is too cool an item to take chances with, and we would far rather transport it ourselves.  We can deliver within Lewiston-Auburn for a $15.00 delivery fee, or Gray/Portland (along the 202 Route, or just off it) early Wednesday mornings for the same $15.00.
