It is on a very delicate stand, so extra care should be taken with its display.

Circles is a white goose egg with circular designs removed from it.  These circles are held together only by a shared edge here and there, and the design covers the entire egg.  Circles was one of the first carved pieces, and the inspiration for many other pieces.
