Description and Details
A stunning green tourmaline Falcon displaying a perch as found with many falconers. Falconry (hunting with a bird of prey) is a thrilling sport with a rich history and culture that offers a unique connection with nature and provides a different view of the world around you. Falconry is an ancient sport people have practiced for thousands of years both as a form of hunting for food in nomadic societies and as a sport for nobles in Medieval Europe, Middle East, and the Mongolian Empire. In empires, the nobility would hire master falconers to trap, train, and care for the hawks and other birds of prey so they would be available for hunting with kings and other high nobles. This clever Falcon carving pays homage to an ancient sport. This Idar-Oberstein gemstone carving is profound in detail. From the hands of Eberhard Bank.
