ATELIER MUNSTEINER Title: 3 Agate Relief Jewellery Pieces/Wall Decorations. Origin: Germany. Date: 1990, 1992 and 1999. Material: Oval relief frame in silver, tested, picture frames likely made of stainless steel, one painted white. Measurement: Each 21.5 x 21.5 cm. Gemstones: 2 oval carved band agate reliefs, ca. 4.5 x 4.1 cm and 4.3 x 3.8 cm, framed, 1 square carved layered agate relief, ca. 4.0 x 4.0 cm. Description: Three reliefs carved in layered agate, the black, blue and white colour gradations lend them a decorative, high-contrast character. The oval ones are crafted with sharp edges and straight lines, whilst the square one features softer, circular forms. Each of the oval reliefs bears the signature 'Bm' engraved into the agate and is signed verso: one reads 'Bernd Munsteiner 1990', the other 'Bernd Munsteiner 1992' with the dedication ‘Congratulations, Bernd and Hanne’. The square relief is signed "Tm" at the bottom right corner and verso 'Januar 99 Munsteiner', judging by the signature, this is likely a work by Tom Munsteiner, Bernd’s son. Enclosure: An envelope featuring an image of the 1992 relief and a short biography of Bernd Munsteiner, inserted into the back of the frame, is enclosed.
