Amber Sculpture of A Battle Between A T-Rex and A Triceratops. This unique 3"x2¾" sculpture of a T-Rex attacking a Triceratops (actually a closely-related Anchiceratops) was commissioned from a drawing by Robert Walters. It depicts the T-Rex clawing and getting ready to bite the Triceratops while the Triceratops is defending itself by biting into the shoulder of the T-Rex with its powerful, parrot-like beak.
This spectacular display item was carved out of a single piece of brittle, honey-colored 40 million year old Baltic amber sitting on a natural flat base. The amber is a uniform and solid color due to thousands of trapped air bubbles. Being solid, rather than clear, enables even the smallest of details to be clearly observed, such as eyes, scales, claws, teeth, etc. This is a rare opportunity to own a sculpture of dinosaurs that became extinct 65 millions ago, carved from 40 million year old amber.
