AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Very beautiful decorative set in natural polished onyx, consisting of a large bowl and 10 matching decorative eggs.
The set is distinguished by the magnificent natural veining of the stone, in shades of cream white, beige, honey, brown and sometimes slightly greenish. The stone also features beautiful translucent zones characteristic of this type of onyx.
The bowl is particularly imposing and has been carved and polished in the stone. The 10 eggs each display a different veining, making each piece unique.
Approximate dimensions:
* Bowl diameter: 25 cm
* Bowl height: 7 cm
* Egg height: about 7 to 8 cm
* Number of eggs: 10
Provenance: Afghanistan

As the stone is entirely natural, color variations, veining, transparency, and small irregularities are part of each piece and do not constitute defects.
Condition: good overall.
