The face at the base is in profile, and has prominent black eyebrows, a greenish eye-socket, black eyes, and red paint accentuating the nostrils, cheeks and lips. the face is carved and painted. It is virtually identical to 1885.66.6, except it has leather thongs threaded through four holes at the base.; Good

Ornament1947.575

The catalogue card states, Fine ivory tusk-shaped ornament,...carved with two copulating creatures, probably a seal facing away from point and a man facing towards it. However the shape of the object suggests it is a spoon handle as below the human face a recess has been cut where the bowl of the spoon could be attached. The reverse side of the handle, below the human feet appears to have been broken, having sharper edges than the rest of the object. This is consistent with the idea that it was at one time a spoon handle. Furthermore the creatures do not appear to be copulating, and the animal is more reminiscent of a bear than a seal (G.Crowther).; Good
