Description : African art. Button or Omakipa. Ivory. Small defects and signs of use. .

Colouration particularly evident at the back where there are two holes. Several chippings on the edges testify to the wear and originality of this object. Beautiful glossy patina and typical ivory pattern. Weight: 56 grams. Accompanied by CITES certificate. . Cm 7,00 x 6,00 x 2,00.
