Having lived in the forest for 16 years, lovely Briar Rose dreams of meeting a romantic prince—and her only companions, the endearing woodland animals think of a delightful way to bring the lonely girl a semblance of dream-come-true as only they can. These forest friends wear hunting garb they discovered in the forest, transforming themselves into a handsome “dream prince” Heartened by their kindness, Briar Rose happily whirls and twirls with the woodland creatures—unaware that the clothes they wear belong to a real prince and that she is actually Princess Aurora! Now, waltzing and wishing, Princess Aurora dances your way in this elaborately detailed sculpture from the Carved by Heart collection. Authentically crafted by renowned folk artist Jim Shore, each of the seven characters from Walt Disney’s Sleeping Beauty (1959) are captured in charming detail, right down to their winning smiles. In a quaintly rustic style authentic to the enchanting forest where this iconic scene takes place, the work is crafted of hand-painted and patterned stone resin with the look of hand-chiseled and carved wood. The entire piece has the appearance of being carved from a single log with a progression of bark and rough wood on the base with the characters and setting emerging on the top. The costuming of Briar Rose and her “dream prince” are adorned with decorative motifs and country-style patterns, inspired by American folk-art motifs, a captivating ornamentation true to the quaintness of this beloved Disney fairy-tale. The princess-in-disguise and her adorable animal attendants will make a cherished piece in your collection, for they are ready to meet you “once upon a dream.”
