Completely engraved large mother of pearl shell, very intricate. The carving into the shell is of a Human Skull. The shell was engraved by a Balinese artisan, who has mastered the art of carving. The artisan is one of very few who can carve at this level. He is truly one of the best and most renowned in this niche field. The shell comes with a wooden stand.
