Garden Quartz Cobra Snake Hand-Carved Intaglio Reverse Lens Carving (Video) tumble This is a rare exampleThis is an exquisite lens of Quartz with excellent clarity and golden iron inclusions of 'Garden', that has been reverse 'Intaglio' carved with a cobra snake poised to strike. Intaglio carving is the process of etching out a design from the rear, so it can be viewed as a 3D picture from the front. This process is done by hand by master carvers and is a painstakingly long process to complete each individual masterpiece. Approx. 3. 3cm x 1. 6cm x 0.
