Carved ivory seal representing a lion. - Lot 91
Carved ivory seal representing a lion.
19th century
L. 9.5 cm, L. 2.5 cm
Weight : 27g
The handle of this cachet featuring a lion is indeed made from the ivory of today's Proboscideans, and more specifically of Elephantidae. In fact, the parameters for recognizing Elephantidae ivory are clearly visible in the form of the guilloches 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 FR2409200170-K
