E George Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Hi Tony, Definitely a nice carving; however, I don't have additional information to give you. If it were mine, I'd have him standing guard somewhere in my house. He looks like a knight of King Arthur or King Richard the Lion Heart. If you have the time, please post a photo of the sword side. Where did you get the piece ? Any marking on the base ? Thank you for sharing it with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Edward Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Its patterned after the famous Viking chess men found in England, they were made of walrus ivory. After being misplaced they were found in a frmers field, when first unearthed he was horrified by them and ran for the authorities of the day. Google them! Tom.
