David Whymancharging bull elephant engraving
I don't think I have shown this before ,it is an optical crystal piece (the same glass that is used for scope and binocular lenses ) I hand engraved this mainly on the back of the piece with the charging bull elephant being very deeply engraved as it is the closest animal towards you, some work was engraved on the front such as the egret to give a 3D effect The size of the piece is 12inches long x 8inches high

Just curious, in what price range do your pieces run, I saw no pricing information on the website?

I can't fathom the talent and patience required to achieve that level.
Thanks for sharing.

prices run from £70 ($112 US) FOR SOMETHING LIKE A WHISKY TUMBLER ENGRAVED WITH ANY ANIMAL OR BIRD
TO A VERY SPECIAL PIECE LIKE THIS ONE $1280
A piece with your portrait and your trophy animal like this one are generally around the $960- $1280 depending on complexity of work and piece of crystal chosen

TimanDavid,
That is beautiful work.
Especially the portrait work.
Capturing a portrait likeness is an art in and of itself.
nice job.
