Ivory Sculpture

Ivory carving is the process of molding the sculptures. Ivory is a hard stone-like tissue made from animal tusks. Ivory carving can be done in other various items such as jewelry, and adorning figures. Most of the time elephant tusk is utilized for carving ivory even though other tusks of different animals such as walrus and different mammals can be used. From the late times, ivory is recognized as a luxury because of its smooth texture, grains, light and beautiful color, and luring luster.
