Suiseki Figure – “Marbled River Pebble”

Description

“Marbled River Pebble” by Felice Colombari is a refined example of figure suiseki rooted in place and natural history. Sourced from the Po River in northern Italy, this naturally polished stone exhibits a mesmerizing interplay of gray, brown, and warm earth tones, forming a unique marbled surface with rich visual depth.

The stone’s organic shape and smooth texture speak of its long journey through water and time. Subtle veining and color transitions give it an elegant presence — understated, yet full of character. Resting in a carefully crafted koto wood daiza, “Marbled River Pebble” is a meditation on flow, transformation, and the quiet artistry of nature.

Felice Colombari highlights the stone’s beauty without imposing upon it, allowing the natural marbling and worn form to convey calmness, continuity, and timelessness. This suiseki celebrates the poetic simplicity of a river-carved stone — one that speaks volumes in stillness.
