Hello everyone,

I came across this online exhibit of boxwood and ivory sculptures at the Met, and thought some of you might be interested:Met Museum site

There are some spectacular pieces here, and it is well worth a look.

Those objects are just too inspiring.

and to have a look over the shoulder of such masters..........

Thank You Phil <_<
