The bookends are typically made of polished alabaster, or onyx featuring natural variations and veining in the stone that create a unique marbled effect.
Design: They depict hooded figures, often identified as monks or scholars, in a reading or contemplative pose.
The figure is stylized and abstract, depicted in a monastic robe and holding what appears to be a book. They measure 11 inches in height and 4 inches in width.
