Icon of 19th century, Kholmogory thread
 

Dear experts !

So, given:

Annunciation
Icon, Kholmogory bone carving ( mammoth tusk ? )
43 * 34 Cm. without Kyoto

Spectrograph confirmed the 19th century.

Very interesting and serious thing, a gift from the Fund for governors)

Tell me, what is this thing , and what estimate her.

Sincerely,

And how is it confirmed?
Lights blinked: "The composition of bone is made up in the 19th century"?
:D

I originally wanted to write "according to owners', is now added) Yes, yes, flashing lights))))

Spectrograph determines age of the material, rather than the manufacture of a product.
Ie - the age of the bones.

Even just interested, we should talk to the study, to catch up a blizzard of spectrograph?

Forgot about the spectrograph showed some fellow owners .... What more can objective to say about it?

you can say?

highly professional finest thread.

this in itself is very expensive.

Do not listen to "experts"

artistic value in your subject clearly present

Objectively, it is entirely possible that this thread holmlgorskaya 19th century

but the age of the icon should be specified,

the work of an engraver in 4 -, spelling inscription doubt.

may cut inmates

(Joke)

Can anyone comment on the spelling?
And it does seem that the letters lost somewhere :D

Cut with Titley - usually tserk.slav . language. Here , on the contrary , the letters have not lost - and sort of unnecessary. Of unknown origin in the right side , the letters " I" and the letter " yat" .
Here are the inscription , see, these characters can not be there :)

Estimeytu comment on, please.

If this is a modern thing, the cutter could be anywhere. Absolutely no difference - whether in the studio or in the center of Moscow prison in Arkhangelsk.
A evaluation - must still determine the 19th century or contemporary work .
Forgetting about spekrografe , as you requested , but given these bloopers in inscription - more chances that modern .

Thank you, very important detail.
Extra "ux".
Master wrong?
Or one of the possible variations?
Falshaki?

I do not know.
How can you go wrong?
In the word "Holy" of these letters do not :).

If only a foreigner cut, Japanese or German :)

Is it in the 19th century, the mammoth can be found not only in the zoo?

I'm afraid even in zoos ... well, if only the very old and sick :D :D :D

Do I understand correctly that the material could be bone or walrus tusk of a mammoth?
