[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4161951, member: 2844"]Amazing piece CChandani. I have never seen anything like it. It looks like it was made for the Indian market, Asian made. It not only has sapphires and diamonds, but also lapis lazuli, coral and pearls. The coral looks like Pacific coral to me, another indication of possibly Asian. The figures look 1970s to me, but could be later. Interestingly they look like they could be based on European myth, but that could just be my perception. Could we see more of the boy(?), the figure at the back? The birds could be peacocks. Their crowns look like crescent moons. The peacock (or peahen) is often associated with the moon.[/QUOTE]
