Description
Thank you very much for considering these beautiful works of art. We are now retired and must part with a collection of over 100 ivory carvings we have loved and taken care of for nearly 40 years. We are very proud to offer only the very FINEST in QUALITY ivory carvings. These carvings are genuine ELEPHANT IVORY and in EXCELLENT CONDITION. They were HAND CARVED and HAND SCRIMSHAWED in China by a gifted master craftsman in the mid 1900s. They have a lovely patina that nature has chosen to bestow upon them. These carvings are UNIQUE and exhibit beautiful IVORY GRAIN which is guaranteed to be clearly visible. The ivory has been highly polished and exquisitely detailed. The quality of the ivory, the quality of the carving and the quality of the scrimshaw work are all exceptional. These carvings were legally imported into the USA. These carvings can only be shipped to locations within the USA. FIGURAL COVERED URNS This is an exquisite matched pair of intricately carved hexagonal figural covered urns with pagoda tops. The deity Kwan Yin with a Flaming Mandala resides within each pagoda. The writing on the columns of the pagodas refer to the sanctity of heaven. The ivory alone measures an astonishing 42” in height and their combined weight is an incredible 40 Pounds! The only other pair of this size and weight I could locate on the internet is priced at $125,000. I will send the link to this set upon request. These urns each have Foo Dog handles on either side of the urn. The Foo Dog is the symbol of good fortune, luck and wisdom. Guardians such as these are placed at the entrance of a home, temple, palace, or other building to guard the occupants from evil and harmful spirits. Foo Dogs are the symbols of valor and energy – indispensable compliments of wisdom.

The artist has enhanced the beauty of these urns with a select use of tea staining to accentuate them where warranted. The custom rosewood stands add another few inches to the height of these urns and further serve to accentuate the beauty of these fantastic pieces. The height of each of them with the stands is approximately 45". This stunning pair would make a marvelous addition to your collection of Asian ivory art. They would certainly provide the perfect medium for a grand entrance to any room and should easily increase in value over time.
