This exquisite carving represents the Arabian Oryx which was hunted into extinction in the late 20th century. Historically, it was found in the desert regions of the Middle East. It is mutton fat jade-like colour and unusual in that it has very elegant decorative carving on the sides and circumference of the bead.
