Sculpture – Ivory Carvings

This depicts a Paphiopedilum, which is a western orchid unique in appearance. Not only orchids themselves but also a pot and soil are made by ivory. The formative trend of the highly matured period of producing fruit, vegetable and flower articles are displayed clearly here.(「New Edition Grace, Beauty and Inqenuity-Masterpices of the Museum of Imperial Collections, Sannomaru Shozokan Vol.2」2003)
