This phenomenal example of Gibeon features a dramatic artistic form with a wonderful exterior covered in dark metallic patina. At just shy of 500 grams, this specimen has plenty of size but makes for the ideal starter collection specimen. The strewn field in Namibia produced a number of quality examples like this outstanding piece. This representation of the famous fall features a highly textured surface with several sections of shallow regmaglypts over the solid, metallic mass. Gibeon is a classic, and this one is as well.
