Mouse with Corn is a work filled with the pleasure of delicacy, the face of the creature expressing an almost human-like joy. The mouse is made of mammoth ivory, golden corn grains are of amber, and the bag in which the mouse sits of toned boxwood.
Mammoth ivory is a unique material because of its value and properties. Tusks which have been lying for tens of thousands of years in permafrost, are extracted today in just a few regions of our planet. A very small percentage can be kept in a condition suitable for sculpture manufacturing. The Olmart House uses mammoth ivory of superior quality only.
Boxwood is a southern light wood which is malleable for artistic carving. It is dense, with a uniform texture, well-polished and allows the carver to perform the most filigree work, working out the smallest details in the sculpture. In the works by Olmart House, boxwood sometimes is kilned and toned.
Olmart House uses only natural amber with the highest quality characteristics in its products.
