Snake in Soviet ebonite — handmade, one of a kind, no. 122.

Care is simple: wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth, no harsh chemicals. More on the material’s properties in the “Soviet ebonite” section.

The form shows best on materials with their own directional figure or good contrast — mammoth ivory with dark inserts, expressive wood, horn and amber — where the wavy line picks up the texture and heightens the sense of motion.

Handmade by Valentin (V.S.). Made once and never repeated. Overall length 23 cm, weight 38 g. This piece is sold; we can craft a similar one to order.
