Thank you Anthony.

I think that that this has been well carved, but the problem in my opinion is the material, moose antler is exceptionally difficult material to work.

If this had been done in ivory --- yes, I know --- I believe it would be truly beautiful.

Done in ebony, it would also be better.

But antler?

The carver has done a pretty fair job, but I doubt that anybody can extract excellence from antler.
