The listing, ANTIQUE HAND CARVED IVORY MASK PENDANT, ON BLACK WITH SILVER TIPS has ended.
this is a magnificent piece if you are attracted to this kind of art work. As you know IVORY isn't even legal in this country any more unless it's antique. From the shape of this piece I would guess some kind of tusk. But I certainly am no expert. I do know that it is ivory and not a synthetic.i've had this piece myself for over 20 years and it was antique when I got it.
I have a problem putting this on LISTIA but LISTIA is the only outlet that I have, (by choice). I do not sell through anyone else. The problem is that when a really valuable piece like this comes along you can't help but get nervous. I don't believe in a large starting bid. So here we go folks. I hope you don't let me down.
I will answer questions if I can. The pictures are set up to do most of that like size etc.
As of right now I won't give a GIN. I'll let you make offers privately.
Enjoy the auction.
