20th century, one probably made of translucent pale green bowerite, carved as a large coiling scaly fish leaping up at an eight-legged crab cleverly carved from a black inclusion in the stone; on a wood stand, 22.5cm wide;
The other smaller as a mottled goose standing with open wings beneath a large grey crab on an upright shrub; on a wood stand, 17cm high
