Ivory carving

The Venus of Brassempouy, about 25,000 BP

11th-century Anglo-Saxon ivory cross reliquary of walrus ivory

Viking whalebone plaque from Lilleberge in Norway, 9th Century AD, (British Museum)[3]

The Barberini Diptych for a victorious early 6th century Byzantine emperor.[lower-alpha 1]

Ivory statue is the carving of ivory, that is to say animal tooth or tusk, by using sharp cutting tools, either mechanically or manually.

Humans have ornamentally carved ivory since prehistoric times, though until the 19th century opening-up of the interior of Africa, it was usually a rare and expensive material used for luxury products. Very fine detail can be achieved, and as the material, unlike precious metals, has no bullion value and usually cannot easily be recycled, the survival rate for ivory pieces is much higher than for those in other materials. Ivory carving has a special importance to the medieval art of Europe and Byzantium because of this, and in particular as so little monumental sculpture was produced or has survived.
