the law, as per Vince Pitelka (http://www.potters.org/subject92492.htm)
As a general rule, if a sculpture base attracts any attention at all, then
it becomes part of the sculpture, drawing attention away from your work. If
you are proud of the work you have done and want the viewer or customer to
focus on the work, make the base as neutral and featureless as possible. In
my opinion, bases made of marble or other stone with visible surface grain
are inappropriate for one-of-a-kind sculpture. They are appropriate for
mass produced reproductions and trophies. Avoid wood bases with visible
grain for the same reason. A fine piece of stone or wood is a beautiful
thing, and should not be used in such a way that it detracts from the
sculpture.
