Muskox horn is exotic and eclectic. Its pink hues and matte finish are magnetic.

This is a very rare find and Allan is the only carver who does this subject

This balance is hard to carve which means that these artists are highly skilled and experienced

It's a seamless transition that emphasizes the sleekness of the swan

No one else carves human subjects like Jaco

His black stone is flawless and inky

WOMAN SINGS OF ANIMALS

The pattern of the contrasting colours is mesmerizing

Every collector deserves a carving by Petaulassie

Maybe he is simply carving what he sees

The bravado and depth of this piece are like nothing I have seen before
