It presents the totemic figure of an elongated fish or a snake with a body forming a very skilfully contoured stylized Greek. The eye and a hanging hole are drilled. The hand cutting and polishing are remarkable for the time. Extraordinarily delicate handwork, the risk of breakage being very high. Cloudy reflections.
