Product Description
A mammoth ivory skeleton reclining on quartz crystal
This mammoth ivory skeleton carving shows a full human skeleton lounging on a cluster of quartz crystal, hands behind its head, with a small snake coiled on top of its skull. The crystal is mounted on a polished wood base.
Every rib, finger, and joint is carved by hand, a demanding piece of work in ivory at this scale. The piece comes from master carvers in Indonesia who have worked with Scrimshanders for more than a decade. It is a conversation piece with a touch of dark humor.
