A vintage folk art relief sculpture hand-carved from a bar of Ivory brand soap. The piece features a high-relief profile portrait of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, showing detailed carving of his hair, beard, and period attire. The reverse of the block contains the factory-embossed mark IVORY in vertical capital letters within a recessed rectangle. The soap has aged and oxidized over time, transitioning from its original white color to a deep honey-yellow and amber-orange hue with a crystalline surface texture. This item represents a genre of American hobbyist sculpture popularized during the mid-20th century by national soap carving competitions sponsored by Procter and Gamble.
