Pig in a Bath is an artwork belonging to the Allegories series, in which the master craftspeople of Olmart House have imbued animals with human characteristics. Filled with warmth and good humor, these artworks are created in an edition of one.
This work is filled with humor, pleasure, and a sense of relaxation. The pig is made of mammoth ivory, perfected with the use of of roasting and toning, while the bath is carved of ebony wood and finished with gold.
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.
