This paperweight's setup we have not seen illustrated in books nor encountered another weight like it. The facet cut pattern is a standard small brick cut. The date cane is for 1972 of the early white monk variety (very tiny). The outer row of canes is a ring of complex mauve canes. Inside this is a pentagon of latticino which encloses an array of blue and orange complex canes in a symmetrical close pack formation. Very complex for such an early weight and with lovely colour contrasts.
