Riyadh Bone Carver Scrimshaw at Dawn

by Jose Shields

Pale silver dawn light spills over a market lane in Riyadh, illuminating the rough texture of a tusk held steady in calloused hands. Fine bone dust settles on the worn wooden table beside the carver, catching the cool early winter glow. The artist's needle scratches deep lines into the curved surface, sending up tiny shavings that float in the humid air. Stone walls of the narrow lane stand damp and dark in the background, against the bright, focused motion of the tool. A small pile of finished ivory fragments rests near a woven basket, while the silver light reflects sharply off the wet cobblestones at the edge of the frame.
