Carved Ivory Christ Praying in the Garden of Gethsamane This is a very special button depicting Christ's agony in the garden right before he was taken away to be scourged and crucified. I carved the button carefully in detail from pre-ban African elephant ivory. Behind Christ's head I added a perfect mother of pearl disc that has small rays striking out from its center, and then I inlaid a small black serpent crawling up the side of the rock in front of Jesus. The snake is jet. This handsome button measures right at 1 1/2 inches at the longest measurement, has a self shank carved onto the back and my signature and the date inscribed there as well.
