Finely detailed little lizard, 50mm long carved in antler collected in Alaska and taken to Indonesia to be turned into art by master carvers who were out of work because trading ivory had been banned.
This has no hole, but he could adorn a necklace hanging by his tail.
I bought this piece and several others in the early 1990s from a character who had worked on the Alaska Pipeline where he'd discovered the material, then vacationed in Indonesia where he discovered the carvers, put the two together and made a small business of it for a few years, then disappeared on his next adventure. The old guys who did the carving are long gone by now and this level of technical skill, experience and creativity is harder than ever to find.
