Wolfman is carved in smoky quartz, with garnets and gold: a kneeling figure with a human body and a wolf's head. It leans forward with its hands on its knees, the jaws open in a snarl to show gold-coloured teeth, the eyes red and a shaggy mane falling over the shoulders. The fur is worked in fine strands, in contrast with the high polish of the body.
Materials: smoky quartz, garnets, gold
Dimensions: height 9 cm
