"Leopard" Size: 2.34" Price: SOLD


Here is one of Mark's famed animal skins, the stunningly beautiful and fierce Leopard! Words can't begin to describe how awesome these marbles are, and you HAVE to get one in hand to see how incredible they are. The graal technique is used to make these, and even though I understand graal, I still scratch my head trying to figure out exactly how he makes these. This is an astoundingly beautiful marble, the kind that has made Mark the most famous marble artist on the planet. Every collection has to have an animal skin! This is a very early and truly stunning example of the Leopard skin, such an amazing pattern, made in the VERY FIRST YEAR that Mark starting making these after his fact finding mission to the Smithsonion in 1997 to look at the pelts there and study them! Signed 'Matthews 1997'.
