Description
We've all heard of the saying "lower than a snake's belly", but have you ever noticed how beautiful their bellies are? Large smooth scales, that are sometimes different colours to their flank and backs?
This unique sun-catcher features natural shedding from the belly of a large Australian Diamond Python (locally sourced in an ethical manner).
The double-sided diamond bevel measures 8cm x 4cm at its widest points and catches the light beautifully, while the double-sided cabochon drops are 1.5cm and 1cm in diameter. Having all three elements be double-sided means that there isn't a 'front' or 'back' for this piece, so no matter which side you look at you'll be enjoying its 'best' side! And as you can see in the pictures, the bevel creates subtle yet stunning light refractions - you can almost see a rainbow across the slightly pink hued cellophane-like scales.
Fun fact: I carefully reclaimed the bevels by hand from an old leadlight door, so this piece is also helping to keep glass and old lead away from landfill!
