The Birth of Tengu is carved in moss agate and white agate, with carnelian eyes: a creature with a hooked beak and a mottled brown, finely textured skin, hatching from a cracked white egg, its clawed hands gripping the broken rim of the shell. The egg rests on a branch, its bark worked in fine lines and a cut end showing the growth rings.
Materials: moss agate, white agate, carnelian eyes
Dimensions: height 8 cm
From the Hermitage Collection.
