Item Description
Scintillating, gemmy and lustrous, reddish-orange, prisms to about 1.3 cm richly cover both sides of the sculptural matrix. This is very robust and sturdy older material from the famed mines at Dundas. Most recent material is much more fragile. Showy material with a definite biomorphic shape, having a head, neck and body.
