Compare the shading in the slip-cast ceramics below; they are not as sophisticated, and more glossy, than the seli.fram items; but note the...
In spite of the appearance, I can't believe that any of these are either old, or actual carvings in either ivory or marble. This is not what a...
Welcome!
I found this: Lot-Art | S. XX. Firmada "SELI FRAM". Con certificado CITES. Medidas:... described as ivory, with CITES certificate....but I'm...

Like others, I'd guess that a former owner tried to "preserve" it with linseed oil - not a good idea, Makah baskets don't need anything other than...
I could tell if it was in my hands - but the bear looks more like stone to me, rather than whale bone, fossilized or not. This doesn't look like...
