TheI influence of the design is clearly of an early french art deco style which is very similar to the work of Lalique - sporting here 3 nude maiden.
The opague natural finish conveys the the look of a natural semi-precious stone and is done in alternating fashion of matte and shiny highlights to recreate as close as possible the real stone. The detail in the hand-finished relief is absolutely remarkable, rendering this piece a true masterpiece in both design and craftsmanship.
