Item Description

Beautifully burnished nests of silver wires and a single stout rope are nicely scattered in crannies on both sides of the sculptural miniature cluster of sintered, melted-looking, euhedral to subhedral acanthite crystals from the well-known 2005-2006 finds at this Chinese locale. A showy, excellent and highly representative two-sided combination example from the find. Ex Dr. Barratt Phillips Collection.
