This is a vintage drop-pendant MOP carving. It is a Dragon with fire design top. It is 1 1/8" tall and 3/8" deep. It has been set into a hand made sterling silver ring by Jess Imports, noted for using vintage objects and setting them into jewelry. This is a small ring size of 7.5 for a pinkie finger or small hand. This is really a beautiful ring, the photos can not show the real beauty and irridescence of the Mother of Pearl inset.

If were to charge per hour at a sub-minimum pay, this beautiful hand cut and assembled paper model would cost much more. I do these wonderful paper models because I like to do them, and I love seeing my finished efforts. This is the Cirque Miniature, an Epinal antique print paper model. I miniaturized the original printed it on card stock and cut and assembled it. It is just 3" tall and it does turn to show the tiny circus performers inside the tent. This set as you can see took a lot of ti ...click for details

Another wonderful ornament to hang. Made by hand out of potato flour. Brilliant sculpturing and brilliant hand painted colors. This retablo devil figure is a "SHE" as you can see. She has a panflute. Great details, ready to hang anywhere. I would keep her out of direct sunlight, as I suggest you keep anything with brilliant colors. She is about 4 1/2" tall to wing tip. She is new.

I worked for years before I could come up with the right formula, right temperature to fire, right designs that could be sculpted from pressing in order to recreate Egyptian jewelry using the clay paste known as Fiaence. It is like working with wet baking soda, it does what it wants to and most of the beads and relics I make I can not use. All the pieces in this necklace are the same color. My original designs are based on ancient Egyptian talismans. Bees, Coptic angel face and pestil tubes. Thi ...click for details

Handmade, superb workmanship. Silver cask box, top has pierced old kingdom glyphs. The top pierced panel is raised above underlying panel to show depth. This little box is 4 1/2 cm wide and just over 2 cm tall. It is a wonderful artful piece. Has small "s" stamped on top, may look like a tiny dent, but it is the makers silver mark. Age unknown, not old.
