Antique Natural Carved Turquoise Frog Decoration, Lifelike and Exquisite
Located in Hong Kong, HK
Please check out the HD video! For your consideration is a natural Turquoise carving of a frog. This frog is very well carved. We estimate this piece was made just over 100 years ago. The Turquoise carving is very lifelike, with excellent proportions! The patchy green of the turquoise material matches perfectly to the natural patches of the frog patten. Traditionally, this would have hung on a belt as an ornament. It is a great piece for investors and connoisseurs looking to collect a very well carved piece of natural antique Turquoise. The actual piece looks much better than any photos we can take. This will be a great addition to any collection. The frog carving...
