<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mirana, post: 10427231, member: 79705&quot;]He is stunning! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /> It&#039;s amazing the rather &quot;every day&quot; appearance of the man, but then he&#039;s surrounded by such up-market sparkle. You think the stones were added later? The closed back and clawed collet are fairly old, no? So do you think him older than the setting, or the setting is pretending to have more age than it does?</p><p><br /></p><p>Is the side of the setting silver? Then yes I would agree on your assessment of a washed back. A silver mount to match the stones makes sense.</p><p><br /></p><p>I love the texture and interesting color layering of these pieces. And of course, the unique depictions. Speaking of...North African? I wonder what carving centers existed, if any.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ugh how are you having to pay a tariff on something coming from the UK??? Everything I can find just says China and Hong Kong have lost their de minimis exemption. Or is this above the overall monetary threshold? I don&#039;t buy from abroad often but I don&#039;t want to be surprised when I do and they aren&#039;t making it easy to find out. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
