Platter, 'Tonalities'
Platter, 'Tonalities'
Onyx makes a stunning presentation in luxurious cream tones, carved skillfully to aesthetic perfection. Believed to possess protective powers, onyx wards off general negativity and releases old relationships. Emanating a healing presence, this platter is for decorative use only. Drawing on 30 years of experience, the Sierra family crafts a wide variety of pieces from the cool contours of onyx and marble. Stone sculpting is a traditional regional handicraft, and the Sierras are famous for the skill and the quality of their work. Because each piece is sculpted individually, there may exist slight variations in the color and grain pattern of the stone.
