This is a natural Baltic amber carving purchased from a specialty amber shop about 25 years ago. The tusk on the left side has a slight chip from the time of purchase (images 10, 11, 17). I have cherished it, but I am now putting it up for sale. I believe the purchase price was around 20,000 to 30,000 yen. Fluorescence under black light (images 17, 18). It was purchased as amber from Lithuania, and the sorting report indicates it is genuine amber/copal. It uses high-quality amber with few inclusions such as spangles and a uniform color. Although there is usually a comment about heating, this is unheated amber. 【Size】 Height: 33mm Width: 28mm Thickness: 18mm (Maximum width) *Measurements are approximate. Please allow for some error. I am also selling an amber duck at the same time, so please take a look if you are interested. This is a delicate item, so it will be shipped in a box.
