This is a rare and unusual, handmade Australian Opal Mosaic, portrait picture.

In excellent condition, it features beautiful opals with gleaming colours of red, green, blue & purple. The mosaic forms a characterful portrait of an Australian Aboriginal.

The intriguing nature of this piece of art is further enhanced by the labels on the reverse. The frame and glass are made by Danish Design, Denmark in the 1950’s. This has then been used by the vintage (and no longer operational) Australian Opal jewellery manufacturers, Ankibana. Ankibana cleverly used the convex glass within the frame (designed to reduce glare from light reflections), attaching opals and painting the background back which highlights the beauty of the opals used.
