Description
NARWAL’S TUSK
A twisted tusk mounted on a circular plinth. A classic curiosity cabinet piece, highly prized since the Renaissance, when these tusks were sold as ‘unicorn horns’ – objects of great prestige in princely collections and European Wunderkammern, before their true animal origin was established with certainty in the 17th century.
Dimensions: h. 205 cm
