Serpentine Stone Sculpture Restoration
This sculpture restoration was one of our most technical projects. This sculpture from Africa fell off its base and broken into ~20 pieces. Every piece twisted and curved, which made the structural repairs very challenging. We inserted no less than 7 fiberglass pins into this piece, and used a combination of stone filler and tinted epoxy to fill material loss. We polished the restored piece.
