Description
This opulent ring, carved from fossilised wood and exquisitely inlaid with hundreds of precious stones, depicts the head of a crowned eagle, native to Africa. The fierce beauty of this bird of prey is encapsulated through its fine and magnificent detail: undulating feathers punctuated by gems and flecked with black silver leaf, and a razor-sharp beak rimmed with gold and encrusted with diamonds.
