Antique Ivory Carved Madonna found at a shop. I suspect that this is a fairly old piece, but I am not a expert.

it's beautiful! i hope she's praying for the elephant or whatever creature donated their ivory to her!
ho2cultcha, I agree. I was torn about purchasing this but I thought it was beautiful.
lets face it this is an excellent piece even curvilinearity (ptosis part of the eyelids)
nice sloping in the orbitals in the eyesockets
deep cisele gives a nice shading
hands are a bit angular, but is part of the acquired position
the simple stuff is always the best , this gives a good sense of humility or gratitude
i think you ought to be proud of yourself buying this, congrats Waki
apostata,
Thank you so much for the lovely comment. I really love this piece (and always will) for the reasons that you have mentioned. Take care!
