Suiseki Figure – “Veiled Lady”

Description

“Veiled Lady” by Franco Mauri is an elegant figure suiseki that captures the timeless mystery of the human form shrouded in fabric. Rising in a vertical stance, this naturally sculpted brown Arenaria stone presents the soft, flowing suggestion of a veil draped over a standing figure, covering the head and cascading downward in gentle folds.

Its surface features delicate striations and natural contours that echo the movement of cloth over form — subtle yet unmistakably anthropomorphic. The silhouette is refined, serene, and imbued with a quiet sense of presence, as though the stone is guarding a secret or holding a memory within its posture.

Mounted in a refined Cherry wood daiza, “Veiled Lady” transcends its mineral origins, offering a poetic meditation on modesty, femininity, and timeless grace. Mauri’s sensitivity to the stone’s character results in a deeply expressive piece that speaks with both softness and strength.
