The clamshell motif is called anabori, or “cavern carving” and is one of the many novelties in ivory often seen in articles made for export during the early 20th Century. This anabori is carved from the solid tip section of the tusk, lightly stained on the outside and ornamented with fish and seashells. Inside is a world full of activity, with a pagoda and monks, a mounted traveler, a rickshaw and figures mingling amongst the trees.
