50 Million Year Old Fossil Fish Mural from the Green River Formation, Wyoming
By Green River Fossil Company
Located in Logan, UT
Four Eocene Era fossil fish from the Green River Formation are featured in this sculptural stone mural: a Cockerellites liops (formerly known as Priscacara) accented by three smaller Knightia eocaena. These fossil fish are about 50 million years old and are forever preserved in a textured matrix of natural, fossil-bearing limestone. This particular mural features a rare layer from our quarry known as Steel Blue Lake; the rich blue-gray color is a dramatic backdrop for the deep bronze color of the fossils. The mural measures approximately 1.33 feet x 2 feet. It is fully backed with wood and it includes a handmade custom Wenge wood frame which compliments the fossil color beautifully. The mural has a built-in French cleat, which allows for an easy installation. DETAILS -Mural size: 16" H x 24" W x 1" D -Mural weight: 20 lbs -Includes a Green River Fossil Company Certificate...

James Schwabe Sterling Silver and Gemstone Lion Sculpture Mounted on Malachite
Located in Atlanta, GA
A sterling silver sculpted lion by late American artist James Schwabe (1918 - 2008) mounted onto malachite. The eyes of the lion are gemstone (possibly cabochon emerald) and there appear to be highlights in a golden metal. The sculpture is signed on the malachite, J. Schwabe and there looks to be a number under the signature. It has been postulated that Mr. Schwabe sold his jewelry in New York under the brand, Patrice and Realm. Mr. Schwabe did design jewelry and other pieces in precious metals and gemstones for Cartier. This sculpture depicts a fierce and cute lion, seated on its haunches with its green eyes wide open. The lion sits patiently on a block of malachite, enjoying a polished surface contrasted with the natural form. So if you still have a curio cabinet, then make some room on the top shelf for this work. And if you have a vanity, then I'm sure this work will look beautiful next to your collection of boxes...
