Pointillism Carving Bracelet – Dragon

Mammoth ivory refers to the tusks of woolly mammoths, an extinct species related to modern-day elephants. Mammoths lived during the Pleistocene epoch and became extinct around 4,000 years ago. Mammoth ivory is obtained from the tusks of these ancient creatures, which have been preserved in permafrost and ice for thousands of years. Due to the ban on the elephant ivory trade to protect endangered species, mammoth ivory has become an alternative material for ivory carvings and crafts.

The craft of Pointillism refers to a meticulous and exquisite carving or engraving technique that typically involves using fine-pointed tools to create tiny, detailed point-like marks or carvings on a surface, aiming to form patterns, images, or details.

This technique can be applied to various materials, including wood, metal, jade, and ivory, among others. Pointillism requires craftsmen or artists to use small tools in a precise manner to create minute indentations or dot-like impressions on the material’s surface. By controlling the depth and spacing of the tools, creators can form various intricate patterns, textures, or images.
