Mammoth ivory- Woman holding flower

Woman holding flower High Quality Carved Ivory Circa 1940.

Women were only considered property and had to obey their brothers and fathers in any case. Once
the woman was married instead of being property to her brother and father,
she was now property to her husband and mother in law.
This woman holds the lotus flower. The lotus is a favorite flower in China for many years. It symbolizes grace.
This Gorgeous statue shows all the small details, curves and lines of the woman figure, made with fine polishing.
