One carved ivory figurine depicting a young Thomas Jefferson. He is wearing breeches, a waistcoat, a cravat, a coat, and shoes that appear to have buckles. Jefferson is standing with his left leg thrust slightly forward and is leaning on a tree trunk (?). His right arm is bent, with the fist to the chest. Underneath Jefferson's feet is a platform decorated with a rococo design both front and back. The figurine does not stand upright without support and may have initially been the top of a letter opener or knife.Acquisition
