Idar-Oberstein, Germany A deep purplish red tourmaline from Madagascar, weighing approximately 410 carats, has been used in this imaginative carving representing the head of a Masai woman with an elaborate coiffeur. The bottom of the stopper, concealed within the interior of the neck, still retains the natural crystal surface of the tourmaline—always the sign of a virtuoso carver at work. The body of the flask is formed of carved and frosted rock crystal quartz and is decorated to the front with a shield-shaped citrine of bright yellow hue. With 18K yellow gold decoration to the collar imitating the traditional neckwear of women from East Africa. Signed with monogram EB for Emil Becker, the firm of Manfred Wild. Height 4in (10.2cm)
