Eagle's Claw with Snake belongs to the atelier's eagle's claw work: one block, one carver, no two pieces alike.
The eagle's claw subject is worked across the bowl, with snake and floral detailing carried around the piece.
Every image here is of this exact piece, 10 views in total, shown as photographed with no retouching. Use the full-screen view to examine the cut lines.
Every piece in this catalogue is cut from genuine block meerschaum, a hydrous magnesium silicate mined near Eskişehir. It is soft enough to take fine detail when freshly worked and hardens as it dries, which is what allows undercut carving to survive at all. Pressed meerschaum, made from bonded offcuts, cannot hold it. How block and pressed differ.
Availability and delivery
This is a one-of-a-kind piece. Availability is confirmed personally before any payment is discussed; messaging the atelier does not reserve or purchase it. Shipping is quoted per destination once the country is known, because import rules for this category vary and the atelier confirms it can fulfil an order before accepting one. What that involves for an international buyer.
