Coral Coral - Corallium rubrum

Lovely sculpture in 100% natural Italian coral..
Created by skilled Trapen­sian hands in the mid-900s..
Certainly a MASTER engraver who, with his art and mastery, has been able to origin a unique piece, look at the face of the cherub, ENCHANTING.
Weighs more than 27 grams, the structure is not delicate...
I suggest turning it into a pendant or the centerpiece of a significant necklace..
Created from a huge piece of ancient SCIACCA coral, known for its salmon/orange tone, sometimes with black shades
Hand-carved with the aid of only the BULINO burin, a pointed iron for engraving and creating works of art with ancient methods.
Signed on the back.
A unique piece to collect ..
