Description :

Intriguing hand-painted stone sculpture signed Paulson 1969, featuring a stylized green frog outlined in white, etched into the surface of a dark, heavy stone. A white star motif appears near the peak, adding a celestial touch. The stone shows rich patination with rusty, golden patches, reminiscent of iron oxidation often seen in meteorites—suggesting this may have been created on a space rock, though unconfirmed.

The piece stands vertically on a custom-carved wooden base and offers full sculptural presence from all sides. A compelling example of mid-century natural surface art, with potential ties to meteorite folk art traditions.
