Garden Quartz Birds in a Tree Hand-Carved Intaglio Reverse Lens Carving (Video) uv light An extremely well-carved obelisk towerThis is an exquisite lens of Quartz with excellent clarity and golden iron inclusions of 'Garden', that has been reverse 'Intaglio' carved with a pair of mandarin duck lovebirds perched in a bushy tree. Intaglio carving is the process of etching out a design from the rear, so it can be viewed as a 3D picture from the front. This process is done by hand by master carvers and is a painstakingly long process to complete each individual masterpiece.
