Vintage bone carving pendant

I found this wonderful bone carving in a box of junk at a second hand store, I was so stoked to have found such a treasure, the minute I layed eyes on it I knew what to do with it.

I was challenged by the shape of the carving, it was very hard to find center, but I think I solved the problem by using two frames the same shape of the carving but reversing one the other way. I finished the piece with FWP and swarovski crystals. I used 16ga. sterling silver for the frames and 26ga.for the wrapping.
