Carnelian skull

This skull is carved from carnelian, a variety of chalcedony colored by iron impurities that give it hues ranging from orange-red to brown. The first uses of carnelian date back to antiquity, particularly in Egypt where it was used for seals and amulets due to its hardness and beauty. Even today, it is prized for jewelry and decorative sculptures. This skull, with its carefully carved details, is a beautiful example of art and symbolism in stone.

This sculpture measures approximately 4 cm.
