About the Item
We are delighted to present a unique piece of art from our collection: a miniature figurine of a polar bear crafted from delicate pink quartz. The ruby eyes add a touch of elegance and refinement, giving this rare creation a distinctive charm.
The figurine is believed to date back to the late 19th or early 20th century and may be associated with the work of Fabergé or his workshop. However, due to the absence of identification marks and original packaging, an exact attribution cannot be confirmed.
This enchanting miniature, standing just 36 mm (1.4 inches) tall and weighing 9 grams, would make a wonderful addition to any antique collection or a sophisticated gift for a discerning connoisseur. Despite its modest size, the polar bear radiates a unique allure, capturing the hearts of those who appreciate its refined craftsmanship and historical significance.

Artifact Mogul Estate Rock Crystal Ram Head Amulet and Garnet Beads Necklace
Located in Chesterland, OH
Unique, one-of-a-kind, antique necklace, Amulet necklace.
The Mughal (or Mogul) Empire ruled most of India and Pakistan in the 16th and 18th centuries. It consolidated Islam in South Asia and spread Muslim (and particularly Persian) arts and culture as well as the faith.
Rare 18th C. Mogul Indian Rock Crystal Ram Head.
This amulet was probably made for a necklace worn by one of the Kushite kings. Representations show these pharaohs wearing a ram's head amulet tied around the neck on a thick cord, the ends of which fall forward over the shoulders. Sometimes, a smaller ram's head is attached to each end. Rams were associated with the god Amun, particularly in Nubia, where he was especially revered.
The ram's head is carved from smooth rock crystal. The carved quality is very high. Dimensions: 41.5mm long and 25mm wide.
The ram head amulet is a symbol of perseverance, vitality, and sexual energy. The ram personifies generative power, creative energy and is also a spirit that protects its owner.
The length of the necklace is 32 inches (81 cm). The size of the vintage rice garnet beads is approx 6.5 - 7.5 mm, the size of the tiny round garnet beads is approx 2.5 mm. The size of the matte rock crystal beads is 16mm.
The necklace is fastened with an old silver clasp.
The weight of the necklace is 100 grams.
The garnet necklace was most likely made later, around the end of the 19th century. This is evidenced by the clasp, the silk thread, and the way the garnet beads were cut, carved, and drilled by hand. As we wrote above, the head of a ram made of rock crystal is from the 17th-18th centuries.
