An intricately carved sculpture of a rhinoceros is displayed within a glass case, illuminated by overhead recessed lighting

Nizhny NovgorodRussia

An intricately carved sculpture of a rhinoceros is displayed within a glass case, illuminated by overhead recessed lighting. The rhinoceros, facing left, is crafted from a light-colored material, identified by a label as mammoth tusk/ivory. Its entire body is meticulously covered in elaborate, flowing floral and scrollwork patterns. A golden tip adorns the rhinoceros's horn. The sculpture rests on an ornate, multi-tiered base, also composed of the same material and adorned with intricate openwork designs. A white rectangular label positioned in front of the base reads "Н14," "Носорог" (Rhinoceros), "бивень мамонта, золото, бриллианты" (mammoth tusk, gold, diamonds), and "7 175 000 ₽" (7,175,000 Russian Rubles). The display case features a black top panel with two metallic latches. The reflective surface within the case produces a clear image of the sculpture's underside. Partially visible in the lower foreground are other carved objects, possibly boxes, matching the aesthetic of the main sculpture. The blurred background, visible through the glass, reveals indistinct shapes of what appear to be framed artworks or tapestries, suggesting an art exhibition or gallery setting. The Russian text on the label confirms the location is consistent with Nizhny Novgorod, Russia.
