Chinese Ivory Puzzle Ball

Item Details

An antique Chinese puzzle ball carved in an utterly meticulous fashion completely out of ivory. This object is comprised of a base of pierced design with carving in relief throughout. The puzzle ball itself is the most impressive part with two smaller balls inside a larger ball. All three are delicately carved and pierced in relief with incredibly delicate designs.

• International law prohibits the exportation of ivory, the winning bidder must, therefore, be a United States resident.
