Thread: Unusual Escher label

Here's a stone with an unusual-looking Escher label for sale. Actually, the stone looks perfectly normal for an Escher, but if you look at the photos of the label, you can see that only about half of the normal label is present, but that part of the label seems to cover the entire length of the back of the stone. I'm probably not describing it well, so take a look at the photo below or the auction link.

I'm not the world's expert on these, but have you ever seen a situation like this -- where the size of the label looks to be so mismatched to the size of the stone it is glued to? Just curious.
