By Gerd Dreher Idar-Oberstein, Germany This spectacular, life-like and life-sized carving depicting a parrot captures the essence of what fine German lapidary works are about. Carved circa 1975, this sculpture displays an imaginative use of materials and the realistic texturing of feathers in this case: the head and shoulders carved of red jasper, yellow jasper, malachite, sodalite and labradorite. The eyes are set with cabochon rubies, the 14K yellow gold feet rest upon a brown banded agate perch with silver gilt fittings, with 14K yellow gold chain keeping the parrot in "captivity", polished square malachite base. Height 13in
