Sixth Plate

VACANT EYES! The fellow’s eerie appearance almost shocked me when I opened the repaired sixth sized case. Beautifully painted slices of mother of pearl that was inlaid in the Japanned Black cover was accentuated with additional drawn designs. The man?s overly tinted cheeks contrasted against those transparent eyes set underneath hooded granite brows. What an intense portrayal of this resealed citizen. He is framed by an oval ring of oxidation. Along with the subject?s intense, stoic concentration, spectacular holographic depth pushes the fellow outside the brass border!
