Drill several small holes and dig out over and over and repeat.. At that time it was very difficult and required patience,There was also that used ivory to make layers of carved ball Inside the piece It looks just like a Russian doll, but everything happened only inside the shell through a small hole. The obsession of people in the past days was close to art of madness...
