A little kyratisation to complete a broken ear ;-)

He's magnificent from all angles, love it!!
OMG! Beautiful!!!
When I look for classy and worthwhile antique stickpins your collection cannot be beat. You have the best by far. I remember some of your interior shots from years ago and you already had my interest piqued. To carve this must have been difficult and love the sheen on the body. You have out-kyratized yourself here dear Pascale !~
Hi Jenni, Vintagelamp, Phil!
Thank you for admiring this minuscule horse!
I'm amazed how accurate are the details when enlarged.
This must be the tiniest ear I retouched! :-)))
Love back to you all, XO
Are you sure it's not Alabaster? Or Quartz? The legs seem too transparent for Ivory.
Hi Celiene :-)
Yes, sure it is ivory, not transparent.
