Ivory Dragon
This is the most incredible ivory Dragon you will ever
find. It is carved from one piece of fine solid ivory with amazing
attention to detail including each and every scale. Note the work
to the open mouth, flowing moustache, teeth, eyes, feet, and the horns
on his head. I have never seen another posed as this one on his custom
stand. He measures an impressive 34" around the curve and is in perfect
condition.
34"

Emperor and Empress
This is an exceptional pair of ivory Emperor and Empress.
They are carved from premium ivory with great detail. Note the intricately
carved headdress, facial features, the accessories such as his necklace,
her ruyri and the tassels, not to mention the cool swords. The decoration
is not just scrimshaw (etched), but rather deep carvings (front and back).
They are signed by the same artists.
17" (not counting the stands)
$4000 pair

Japanese Huntsman
This is an extremely rare Japanese Okimono of a Hunter.
Besides the large size, what makes him rare is the rifle he is carrying.
It is a matchlock, made for many years, but is consistent with the time
period of the piece. The rifle is removable as a separate work of art.
He has his game (rabbit and bird) attached to his belt and a basket of
fruits and veggies also attached. Note the foliage at his feet and
his cool rope sandals. He is signed by the noted artist 'Gyokushi'
who worked in the 'middle period' (1800 to 1868). He is in perfect
condition with no damage or repairs.
12" tall
$3500

Pair Ivory Phoenix
This is a fine pair of Phoenix standing on foliage with
beautiful fine carved flowers. I am not sure what flowers, but they
have many thinly carved pedals and seed pods in the center. Absolutely
incredible detail. They are each holding a twig in their mouths.
The carved out areas are just breath taking to imagine the artist removing
that much ivory to leave the twig, bulbs, branches, flowers and leaves.
12" (without the stands)
$3000 for the pair

Fat Boy Elephant
This is an extremely nice and large Ivory elephant.
These ivory elephants are abundant, however, few are as large and well
proportioned as this one. And of those, the ivory seems to split
and crack due to the thickness. This rendition is perfect carved
from premium ivory with nice graining. This thick piece of ivory
came from the 'sweet spot' in a tusk (middle). Note the folds to
his skin and nice long tusks. He is 6" long and sits on his nicely
carved wood stand.

Elephant Train
This is really a nicely done African Ivory Elephant Train.
Most like this are superficially carved with low relief. This model
is virtually hollowed out leaving the 5 elephants and trees in full dimension.
The tusk is about 14" around the curve. It is notched out on the
big end to stand by itself. It is flawless.
$350
