Black Rhino

I have hand engraved this 6 inch circle of optical crystal ,and donated it to the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya which is the largest black rhino sanctuary in East Africa. The piece will be auctioned to raise money for the black rhino project. The piece is engraved front and back to give a 3 dimensional effect.

just heard from my mate Bill, who has now returned to the UK ,He has had a fantastic time in NZ and it is a wonder if you have any animals left, he has shot so many- goats, red deer, pigs ,rabbits, fallow deer, possums. He has made a lot of new friends and been treated wonderfully by all the people he met in NZ
