Monkey on а Die reminds us of Auguste Rodin’s Thinker, endowing the animal which it depicts with human features and a meaningful, thoughtful look. The monkey is made of mammoth ivory and its eyes of gagate, while in its hand it holds a necklace of pearls. The die on which it sits is carved from the wood of the ebony tree.
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.
Ebony is the black tree which grows in the humid tropical forests of Africa and Asia, and it belongs to the rarest and the most valuable wood species. Very hard and heavy, drowning in water, it requires special continuous processing, special drying conditions, before it becomes suitable for carving and making artworks.
Olmart House uses only natural gagate with the highest quality characteristics in its products.
Pearls are very fragile and delicate material, and, considering the unique process of its formation, perhaps the most unusual one, because the living creature – the mollusk – participates in the process of creating the pearl. Olmart House uses in its artworks natural sea pearls of the highest quality only.
