Mammoth Ivory Pendant

Description

This american eagle shows what it’s famous for – defiance, nobility, fierceness and fearlessness.  Amazingly detailed, from the arches above its eye, to each feather carved in relief. A large feather sweeps across the pendant and picks up on the slight green colour in the ivory towards the top of the piece. The mammoth ivory is a beautiful creamy woody colour. The back solid silver scroll work is patterned and of high quality hand made construction. The bail is hinged. This is a one-off both in terms of the unique ivory colour and in the skill of the individual carving.
