Only in the hands of experts does deer antler take on this beautiful polish! Troy Sice is clearly an expert and he has made this swaying tablita maiden from just a tine of deer antler. He's inlaid her robe and kilt with turquoise, shell, red coral and jet. Her facial features are inked with her lips inlaid of red coral. She wears a tablita (a wooden head-dress) and gently rocks to the beat of a distant drum. Signed.
