A very impressive eye-catcher on which a Balinese master craftsman has intricately carved a double dragon. The craftsman's family has been carving for generations, as this skill is traditionally passed down from father to son.

This could be seen as a type of scrimshaw. Scrimshaw is the name given to engravings, and carvings are done in bone or ivory.

APPROXIMATE DIMENSIONS
The tusk is 93 cm long

NOTE:
> RESIN HAS BEEN USED TO FILL THE SWORDFISH.
> THE WEIGHT MENTIONED IS INCLUDING STAND AND PACKING MATERIAL.
