    Hello.
    Can you tell me what this sculpture or casting is, whether it is a crystal or something else.
    I have confirmed with the jeweler that there are diamonds in the bison's eyes and that the base is of gold 750
    Weight 1.5 kg
    Dimensions 20cmx15cm

    Bison, not a bull.

    Fascinating piece. I am not familiar at all with this type of glass work, but is their a signature etched on it? Does it detach from the base? Is it hollow?

    [QUOTE = "KikoBlueEyes, post: 3255929, użytkownik: 8363"] Fascynujący kawałek. W ogóle nie jestem zaznajomiony z tego typu wyrobami ze szkła, ale czy jest na nich wyryty ich podpis? Czy odrywa się od podstawy? Czy to jest puste? [/ QUOTE]
    Nie ma podpisu. Tylko próba złota 750.
    W środku nie jest pusty.
    Nie odrywa się od podstawy

    There is no signature. 750 gold sample only. It is not empty inside. It does not detach from the base

    Hollow.:)

    It is absolutely beautiful, Gajdas.
    I wonder if it is a huge chunk of rock crystal, or something similar. Did the jeweller test what the bison is made of?

    Ah That's why he said "carved," not glass. Thank you.

    It looks like a natural citrine (quartz) bison to me, standing on a slab of smoky quartz.

    It looks like ruby to me, just not gem quality ruby.

    Contact the website above and ask if this is his work and what price a new one sells for. Then deduct for damages, age, etc.
