Ivory carved Fox and Grapes
- Title
- Ivory carved Fox and Grapes
- Description
-
1970? Bas-relief of FG carved from bone. Albania. Modeli 8. Scene 3.5” high. Whole piece 4” high. Unknown source.
Was this someone’s souvenir from some foreign travel? The cut marks on the back suggest that the material was chiseled rather than poured. The Albania label is surprising. The scene itself shows fine work, especially in dealing with the grapes, leaves, and vines. A quick search on the web reveals many similar carvings. - Date
