Beautifully carved swordfish bill with a parade of savannah elephants setting. A very impressive eye-catcher.

A master craftsman has intricately carved a parade 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 88 cm long

NOTE:
- THE WEIGHT MENTIONED IS INCLUDING PACKING MATERIAL.
- Resin has been used to fill the swordfish.

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.

The quality of the piece is poor. It is seems like a plastic piece and not a bronze piece. I am very disappointed with this order to be honest. To expensive for such poor quality

Bedankt 😊

The piece arrived a bit damaged and with some dead bugs inside the carvings, but was easy to repair. Still happy with it. It's beautiful.
