Ivory Cabinet
The plaques of ivory are carved in low relief, backed by sheets of tortoise shell and with silver fittings (corner pieces, rivets, key plates, original key and handles).
On the front, the upper drawer is decorated with confronted lions spewing scrolls enclosed in borders of quatrefoils and beading; the lower two drawers have key plates and scrolling, with identical borders.
On the sides are square central panels with winged leonine fantastic creatures with reptilian scaled tails (serapendiyas) enclosed in borders surrouned by scrolling and framed with borders.
On the top are two confronted leonine creatures, similar to those on the sides, enclosed in beaded ovals and scrollwork, further enclosed in a border with outer scrolling and border.
On the back is an oblong field with fragment of leonine creature enclosed in beaded frame with elaborate scrolling and border.
The underside is composed of plain ivory.
There is also a small section of border in the upper drawer.Więcej informacji o licencji można znaleźć tutaj. Ostatnia aktualizacja: Sat, 23 Jul 2022 19:53:44 GMT
