Carved ivory seal depicting a dog attacking... - Lot 97 - Pescheteau-Badin
Carved ivory seal depicting a dog attacking a hare.
19th century
Length : 8.5 cm
Weight : 16 g
The handle of this cachet depicting a dog attacking a hare is made from the ivory of today's Proboscideans, and more precisely of Elephantidae. In fact, the parameters for recognizing Elephantidae ivory are clearly visible in the form of the guilloche patterns typical of this family. Chasing, sculpting and polishing have been carried out to modify the original appearance of the raw ivory material. A beautiful antique patina characterizes this ivory.
Accompanied by a CITES certificate: Number FR2409200175-K
