Snake with a Pearl and a Ladybug is a work that combines the symbols of wisdom and prosperity. In this composition, the snake and lotus leaf are made of mammoth ivory, while a gold ladybird crawling along a leaf is covered with enamel; at its centre sits a large black pearl. The eyes of the snake are garnets, and the stand atop which the whole ensemble sits is of ebony.
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.
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.

Olmart House uses in its works both hot artistic enamel and photopolymer.
Olmart House uses only natural garnet with the highest quality characteristics in its products.
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.
