Matrix Skull Effigy (Silicified Conglomerate with Agate)

This hand‑carved piece was shaped from a river‑tumbled stone containing agate, jasper and mixed pebbles locked inside a hardened silica matrix. The carving follows the natural form of the rock, creating a skull‑like effigy with a fanged profile and deep eye contours. The polished surface shows glossy black areas, translucent agate windows and embedded river pebbles that give it a raw, ancient, totem‑like presence. The piece measures about 2 inches tall, 3 inches long and 3 inches wide, giving it a dense, solid feel for its size. One‑of‑a‑kind and carved to preserve the stone’s original character.
