Carpet in mammoth ivory — handmade, one of a kind, no. 941.

The maker turns each bead by hand, preserving the natural grain and sometimes leaving traces of ancient patina on the surface as time's signature. More on the material’s properties in the “mammoth ivory” section.

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). The only one of its kind. Overall length 22 cm, weight 55 g. Available now.
