Dinosaur Bone Box
Stone Source: Jurassic, Morrison Formation, Utah, USA
Artist: Konstantin Libman

This sizable box has been crafted out of prehistoric Dinosaur Bone. The entire outer box, except for the bottom, has been hewed from gorgeous "Gem" Dinosaur Bone from Utah. Each section is perfectly book-matched and displays a nice polish. The lid features a "Rorschach test" of sorts. The images range from a "Batman Symbol" to a "Tie Fighter" from Star Wars. Additionally, this fine piece of work displays the intricated trabecular structure of the "gem" quality bone. Within this cellular structure, varying shades of yellows, purples, browns, blacks and whites are on full display. This fine box is in excellent condition, with the artist's serial number "0599" on the bottom. The interior is lined with Spanish Cedar, while the box is finished with Gold-plated brass hinges, felt feet and comes with a velvet lined protective wooden outer box. This is an incredible piece of art created from material which is becoming harder and harder to procure. The unique offering is in excellent condition.
