8" Huge Human Skull

The photographs were taken with overhead lighting. The reality of this carving surpasses the images. The color rendition of the images depends on your monitor's calibration. The dimensions are approximate. In the last image, the proportion between the 8" , 5" and 3" skulls is shown. It is a type of jade with a combination of different colors, such as green, red and yellow. For centuries it has been part of jewelry, attire and ceremonial objects of the world’s most advanced cultures — especially in China, where it was regarded for millennia as the most sacred and valuable stone above gold. Jade is known as the stone of harmony, wisdom, and good fortune — worked to promote emotional balance, an open heart, and the connection with one’s own intuition and inner wisdom. Historically associated with good luck in numerous cultures, Jade is used in lithotherapy to cultivate a more receptive and open attitude toward the opportunities that life presents. It is used to strengthen confidence in one’s own resources and to foster a mindset of abundance and natural flow.
