Brandon Phillips: Alabaster, Triceratops Seal Kaa-ma-seeThe soft blush tones of the alabaster create a smooth, almost luminous surface that enhances the creatures strong, rounded form. Light naturally plays through the stone, giving the carving a gentle inner glow. The pink shell horns add a subtle shimmer and contrast in texture, gracefully accentuating the triceratops iconic features. Bright turquoise eyes lend a vivid spark of life and character, standing out against the warm, rosy hues of the body.
