Carpet in mammoth ivory — handmade, one of a kind, no. 817.

Mammoth ivory is fossil bone that lay in the permafrost of Yakutia and Chukotka for ten to forty thousand years. Read more about the material on the “mammoth ivory” page.

The form shows best on uniform, easily carved materials that hold fine relief — mammoth ivory, dense wood, horn and bone — where the carving comes out crisp and patina, over time, underscores every line of the ornament.

Handmade by Dima (Ohotnik Chetki i Rezba). Made once and never repeated. Overall length 22 cm, weight 60 g. This piece is sold; we can craft a similar one to order.
