    I can’t be sure, but this appears to be the Hollow-Face optical illusion. It would be achievable with this technology as well

      Hollow face illusion produces a face that appears to follow the observer. This just looks like a sculpt under glass.

      That’s kinda what I assume, in practice - a negative relief carved into the back of amber or what have you.
