A late 17th Century Goanease Dutch Carved Ivory letter Seal.
Ref: SN256

Back to Accessories

    

This intricately carved ivory seal shows a male and female in European dress embracing. A third male figure is carved to the reverse. He is wearing a turban and has one hand pointing downwards and the other partly concealing his face.

The carving is executed in very fine detail with great attention to the faces, hair and clothing. The woman's hair is delicately carved so that it stands away from her neck. Similarly the man to the reverse has his hand carved away from his neck.

The figures stand on a short stem with a white metal cap to the base, probably silver but unmarked.

Condition: There is some wear to the faces of the couple through handling, the ivory has yellowed with age and there is a hairline crack to the reverse running through the male figure.


Measurements: height: 9cm.
Price: £795.
