Carved mammoth ivory figurine

This is a hand-carved figurine of a woolly mammoth. The entire body was carved from a solid block of top-quality, white mammoth ivory (Mammuthus primigenius). The only separate elements are the mammoth tusks. These are glued to the main body once the carving is completed. The background is formed by a genuine piece of natural mammoth bark. Please carefully look at the pictures for precise dimensions. The colour of the ivory is white.
