A precious and beautiful relief.
Merry Christmas! Buon Natale!
There was a recent survey in the paper. People in Sweden celebrate Jul for the food, the get together and the gifts. The religious part of it is gone. God Jul!
Such artistry. Lovely post for today. Happy Holiday, Jack!
That isn't half bad for the XIIIth century. Merry Christmas Jack.
Merry Christmas!

Beautiful! Merry Christmas to you and your family, Jack!
I like the interplay of their eyes. The guy to the right, though, looks like a Catskills comedian.
Lovely. Merry Christmas.
That is a LOT of ivory - and is beautiful, especially for its age. But I have to admit I'm inclined to agree with Bob Crowe's Catskills comedian comment.
Merry Christmas, Jack!
Lovely! What a work of art!! Hope you had a great Christmas with family and loved ones. :)
Very nice!
What a wonderful shrine (despite the fact how sorry I am about the elephants).
It is beautiful work.
