A warm composition in browns and oranges, this necklace features an ancient jasper intaglio-carved seal bead showing a man hunting a large horned animal, probably an ibex. The seal is a lively carving with patterned detail on the ibex and man, and even the back of it is interesting, showing the natural veining pattern of the stone.
The seal is combined with ancient carnelians in shades of peach and orange, etched with simple geometric stripes. I have also included darker carnelians and banded agates, along with silver spacers and my signature serpent hook clasp.
