Lot 0246

Item Details

Description

Carved from a single piece of fossilized elephant molar. That material also rarely used to construct the throat mounts of kris scabbards. 2 7/8" height and nearly as broad, depicting Garuda in bent over position with a particularly large upper body. This example, in fact, has the most extreme proportions of any of this material we have seen. All are rare and nearly all consist of a representation just over half this broad. Minor wear and natural cleavage indigenous to the material. On plexiglas display stand.
