<p>[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 4514061, member: 76316"]I couldn't get a good pic of all the loose levels, but counted 7, with another strongly hinted. ~2½" diameter, ~74 grams. There are 6 eyes, so must be 3 dragons...but the carving is so convoluted I can't even see how many claws they may have. The second level in from the surface remains attached in numerous places, but all others within are loose. I feel confident it's not resin, nor cast. This came from the same aunt (Mom's sister) as the red coral I posted a couple months ago. I would sure like to know how these are made...how long it takes the artisan to accomplish such a puzzle. Any of you have a clue?</p><p>Thanks for lookin'!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]396810[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]396811[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]396812[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]396813[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]396814[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
