Alkonost. The sculpture is carved from a solid base of elk horn. Alkonost is in the collection "Slavic mythology" in the gallery L7. NGS Masters workshops accept orders for the design and production of miniatures, sculptures, and compositions. The Alkonost is, according to Russian mythos and folklore, a woman-headed bird. It makes amazingly beautiful sounds, and those who hear these sounds forget everything they know and want nothing more ever again. She lives in the underworld with her counterpart, the Sirin. The Alkonost lays her eggs on a beach and then rolls them into the sea. When the Alkonost's eggs hatch, a thunderstorm sets in and the sea becomes so rough that it becomes impossible to traverse. She is also the sister of other birds from Slavic mythology, such as Rarog and Stratim. #bonecarving #handmade #Alkonost #handicraft #NGSMasters #Miniature #ossculpture #bird #artisanal #Russian #Slavic #arctic #Fantasy #mythology #nature #astas #decor #interior #bone #Yekaterinburg #greece #souvenirs #collections #gallery #gift #L7gallery #sculpture #art #Netsuke (at NGS Masters) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj7KXJXsndi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
