It has been a LONG time since we have seen Jarvis' work and this one is a doozie! A mother javelina (or feral hog if you prefer) and its baby piglet are sticking close to each other in this fossil ivory rendition. The raw material has been highly restricted in its harvesting as of late for reasons that are unclear to us. Perhaps the native peoples are the only ones to be able to do so, but it is getting rarer to see fossil mastodon or walrus ivory carved as fetishes as there used to be.


The part of the ivory exposed to the elements are usually darker in color to the white or cream colored insides of the specimen found. Jarvis has used this color difference to dilineate the ground from the animals. The cream colored insides are sometimes crystalized as it is in this case.


The eyes are inlaid of Sleeping Beauty turquoise and the carving is initialed JB Zuni on the bottom of the piece. All in all this is a special carving from Jarvis Bellson and it will be a favorite of any collection!
