In the foreground of the picture on the left side is an artfully carved cylindrical ivory object placed on a low wooden pedestal. On the right, the figure of a man sitting on the ground appears in the background while carving. Photographer Miklós Rév took photos in 1959 in North Vietnam, in the then Democratic Republic of Vietnam.
