One Stone With Many Images: Part Five

Here are the last few photos. It's definitely a case of last, but not least.

From Photo 11 on, you can see that whoever worked on this stone did an exceptional job on the eyes. I love the clear distinction between the brown and white parts. Someday, I should do a posting featuring different examples of the eyes that I've seen in these stones. I can only speak for what I'm finding in our little corner of the world, but it would appear as if they had a good understanding of how to create eyes that are so lifelike, they're unnerving.

All in all, this particular stone is an extraordinary work.
