This distinctive polished piece from 2011 has patterns that are so beautiful it's hard to believe it's not a painting. The patterns on the front and back patterns are both different— one side features dramatic "tornado"-like markings, and the other looks like opening a window to see the rolling waves of the sea. Tragically, specimens of this type haven't been excavated for many years now, making this piece particularly special
