"H. Levasseur - Rare Chryséléphantine, Little Red Riding Hood"

This sculpture rests on a sea green marble base and is signed on a small plaque "FUTUR SÉNATEUR - par H. Levasseur - Hors Concours". It is in good condition.** The word "chryselephantine" comes from the Greek - chrysos which means "gold" and "elephantinos" which means "ivory". Chryselephantine refers to a technique of Greek origin, which appeared around the 6th century BC, which consists of combining ivory and gold plates with less noble materials such as wood or stone. **
