Whale Tooth carved into a Full Figure Nude Woman

American

Ca. 1850-1865

Whale Tooth carved into a Full Figure Nude Woman.  She is resting her head on a cluster of grapes with a horse head between her legs.  There is fabulous detail to her body, head pieces, necklace, feet and horses head.  Her left arm is by her side with her hand holding the horse’s mane.  Her right arm is on top of her head.  This is a masterful American carving.
