Very good vintage condition. The carving is sharp with excellent detail and depth. Light natural patina and minor surface wear consistent with age. The back is smooth with typical shell markings. No chips or repairs to the front carving. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description and show the exact item and condition.
