An extremely unusual sculpture in Gallery Eigen + Art in Berlin messes with the eye when isolated on the stark background. The aspect ratio seems wrong, the features our brain expects missing - a very interesting piece.

Cat sculpture for Caturday
This exquisite little carving was urchased at a thrift store years ago, artist unknown. Clipped ear denotes neutering as feral and, presumably, a rescue cat.
“Laurana’s style became widely adopted—as seen in the *Fragment with a Musical Angel* attributed to Pietro de Bonitate. De Bonitate was a collaborator of Laurana and the creator of the Cathedral portal (executed in 1468); he followed the design of Baboccio da Piperno—a sculptor active within the circle of the Angevin-Durazzo dynasty in Naples. Our fragment may well originate from that same milieu, as it demonstrates an adherence to Gothic models despite the structural approach derived from Laurana. The model of the Cathedral portal also became widespread beyond the Strait of Messina, influencing a series of pointed-arch portals in Calabria. – Regional Museum of Messina”
