What does this mean?

Hello, this item is a solid carved bust of a lady, approximately 14 inches high and 9 inches wide at the base, executed in a striking black, green, and white stone, possibly a type of Hawaiian black/green marble or serpentine. The piece features fluid, detailed carving in the hair and facial features, mounted on a polished quartz or quartz-like beveled base. Although unsigned, the craftsmanship suggests an artisan piece, likely produced in the mid-to-late 20th century, possibly linked to regional Hawaiian or Pacific sculptural workshops that specialized in native stone materials.

In terms of valuation, unsigned but well-executed decorative stone busts typically range between $300–800 USD on the current market, depending on the material quality, visual appeal, and craftsmanship.
