Masterpiece Carving! Museum quality!
Quite frankly, this is one of the nicest Ivory pieces I have seen in a long while.
I resist purchasing Ivory because I can only ship within Canada because of Government restrictions.
This tusk is from a walrus registered with the Canadian Government for purposes of food, and clothing.
But I fell under the spell of Jassie's ornamented Walrus tusk.
Why am I captivated by these tusks?
The laminated finish of the ivory creates a mesmerizing pearl effect. Gorgeous.
The detailed carving on the tusk (embroidery) can only be accomplished with ivory. Stone carving is beautiful. Ivory carving.....out of this world.
Our Walrus tusk is adorned with finely detailed fish. Each fish has two black beady eyes, and stunning fins.
This tusk is uniquely exquisite and of course, one of a kind.
I put this piece in the Masterpiece category.
I was very lucky to have this fantastic carving cross my path.
