From the museum record

This carving was made to appeal to Europeans and Americans in Central Africa, and did not draw from local aesthetics. It depicts an "elephant bridge," where the pachyderms are arranged with trunks and tails touching along the natural curve of an ivory tusk. Such compositions were often made in Japan, India, or China.

Lupin’s visual index

A meticulously carved narwhal tusk depicts a row of marine animals against a dark background.
