Impressive pair of monumental Chinese tusk-form sculptures standing approximately 10 feet tall, intricately carved with continuous figural, landscape, and dragon scenes. Each tusk is constructed from assembled carved panels, likely bone or composite material rather than solid ivory, and mounted on substantial fitted bases with geometric and medallion decoration.

 

The surfaces are richly detailed with dragons, figures, and traditional motifs rendered in contrasting tones, showcasing extensive hand-carved workmanship. The octagonal bases feature additional carved panels with dragon medallions and stylized patterns, complementing the dramatic scale of the tusks. These large-scale decorative works were produced as statement pieces inspired by historic ivory carvings and intended for grand interior display.
