Balboa Park Carousel Egg @ Natural History Museum

Such exquisite intricate design replicating the beloved Balboa park carousel. I hold in high admiration the dedication and time (18 years to be exact) it takes to create something so beautiful and lasting. Just wish the music could be played for all to hear. Hopefully you will love this piece as much as I do.

Created by Jim Grahl in 2007. Made with; diamond, ruby, gold, platinum, silver, mother of pearl, glass, stainless steel and wood. There are 56 hand carved animals that depict the actual one on the carousel.
