Gold-Lip Mother-of-Pearl Pegasus by Andres Lementino

A gold-lip mother-of-pearl Pegasus with turquoise inlaid eyes mounted to a thick mother-of-pearl base carved in the shape of an arrowhead by Andres Lementino. The carving is smooth and nicely polished with lines incised on the horse's mane, wings and tail. Note that the wings are carved as one simplified form. Pegasus is the majestic winged horse of Greek mythology - he symbolizes freedom, divine inspiration, wisdom, and the transcendence of earthly limits.
