We now tend to think of ivory carving as an exclusively Oriental art, yet for hundreds of years European artists worked with this fascinating material, fashioning a great variety of objects of exquisite delicacy and refinement. The seventy-one pieces illustrated in full color in this book vividly reveal the skill and sensitivity of European ivory carvers through the ages, from ancient to Baroque. A delightful book. Cloth bound, 160 pages. Used, in excellent condition with dust jacket - $25. (Other copies are sometimes available for less, depending on condition).
