Hand with Mushroom III

Hand pendant with a mushroom that is a cross between a fly agaric (known for its psychedelic properties) and a bitter bolete (feared for its exceptionally bitter taste).Its yellow gold cap is covered with vitreous red enamel, the white spots and the gills are carved in warthog ivory and accentuated with Japanese lacquer. The stem is of blackened white gold with fine gold immersions. As a reference to the hallucinogenic qualities of the fly agaric, the white enameled hand is covered with tattoos of fantasy script made in liquid gold. The hand wears a bracelet set with black and brown diamonds, and a pair of diamond and sapphire rings.
