Idar-Oberstein, Germany Created by one of Germany's foremost artists renowned for his animal carvings, this pig is realistically carved from a single large piece of firey orange opal. Showing natural texturing of fur and the skin, the bright orange translucent material from which this fine carving was produced is particularly gem-like at the ears and at the edges of the stippled ground on which he sits. This is as fine a carving as can be found and one which is sure to be worthy of the attention of either the serious opal collector or the collector of Lapidary Works of Art. Inscribed with monogram signature GD for Gerd Dreher. Length 4 1/2in (11.4cm) and weighing 1541 carats (308.2 grams)
