Ivory Carving

Ivory Carving is a sculptural practice within the decorative and fine arts whereby intricate reliefs or three-dimensional forms are fashioned from animal tusks, distinguished by its use of dense, lustrous organic material—primarily elephant or walrus ivory—and its historical prominence in African, Islamic, medieval European, and Byzantine artistic traditions as a medium for religious, ceremonial, and elite secular objects.
