Carved Vegetable Ivory Horse Button

 Here is a great button which I've carved depicting a horse running with plumes of dust swirling around its hooves.  The button is carved from vegetable ivory from the palm nut tree and I've added a bit of dyes to color it, as well as some black enamel for the hooves and a bit of black bakelite inlaid for the eye.  The button measures a bit over 2 inches at the longest measurement, has a self shank carved onto the back and my signature and the date inscribed there as well.

Carved Jet Horse Button

 This horse head button is carved from a handsome chunk of Jet.  Jet is a type of fossil wood which comes from only a few places in the world.  The more famous jet which was commonly carved into jewelry during Victorian times came from Whitby England, this jet is mined in the Lake Bakal region of Siberia, Russia.  The horse's head which I've carved is carefully detailed and polished and has an eye which is inlaid using bakelite.  The button measures 1 7/8 inches at the longest measurement, has a self shank carved onto the back and my signature and the date inscribed there as well.
