Two little mammoths are playing and mother of one (and probably aunt of the other) is keeping watchful eye on them. Such scenery should be very common in Ice Age and two fragments of the wholly mammoth tusk let us observe it once again. This mammoth ivory is most unique. You would think that ivory should be white or cream-colored, but what about brown ivory? Yet, it happens when tusk was preserved below arctic circle where it wasn’t frozen in permafrost but got in stronger contact with surrounding minerals. As the result, it displays a very rich variety of colors. Look on the lover piece, it tells the story of its own. Its owner should be huge bull mammoth. You can extrapolate the tusk curvature and it will be the circle at least 7 inches (175mm) in diameter. You can only imagine how long was tusk and how huge its owner was.
This unique artwork that consists of two pieces of mammoth ivory is 7 inches tall and 7 inches (175mm) wide. It has been sold. I can gladly create a new carving for you. Please contact me for the price and shipping information.
