Beautifully carved swordfish bill with a marine setting. The base and cracks in the swordfish bill are filled with off-white resin. It's a very impressive eye-catcher A master craftsman has intricately carved a pair of blue whale, an octopus and a turtle swimming in a coral reef 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 (including stand): The tusk is 88 cm long DISCLAIMERS - Since it is a natural tusk, it might have some natural minimal cracks and crevices in the tusk. This is normal.
