Ger van Oers

A beautifully carved Swordfish bill, a very impressive eye-catcher.

THE STORY
A master craftsman has intricately carved a family of elephants in an african savannah setting, into this large swordfish tusk. The carving is of very high quality and has a lot of detail. Could be seen as a type of scrimshaw. Scrimshaw is the name given to engravings and carvings done in bone or ivory. 

Approximate Dimension
The tusk is 91 cm long

DISCLAIMERS
- Since it is a natural tusk, it might have some natural minimal cracks and crevices in the tusk. This is normal. Please refer to pictures.
- Our tusks are cleaned professionally, but sometimes minor discolouration still occurs. This is natural and normal, and not something we can do a lot about. Please refer to the pictures.

SHIPMENT
- The tusk will be sent with a Track & Trace code via DHL Parcel, DPD or postNl. The tracking will be updated in your Catawiki lot once your parcel has been dropped off. Please check regularly to avoid your parcel being returned.
- If you have any questions about your parcel please contact us using the Catawiki message service. We will try to reply within 3 working days.
