Mammoths made into miniatures
|
THEY last roamed the earth 10,000 years ago before becoming
extinct at the end of the Ice Age.
Now the remains of once mighty woolly mammoths dug up from the
Siberian tundra are again seeing the light of day - as ivory bases
for a Leith artist's miniature paintings.
When Frank Manclark found out that perfectly preserved tusks
belonging to the mammoths - the largest land mammal to ever live -
had been discovered in the frozen wastelands of Siberia and were
being offered for sale, he immediately ordered a batch. Now he is the
only artist in Scotland painting miniatures on the rare material.
