SIN PRECIO DE RESERVA - Colmillo de pez espada grande, patinado y tallado a mano - Talla de dragón Rostrum - Xiphias Gladius - 13 cm - 86 cm - 6 cm- Especie no CITES

Beautifully carved swordfish bill, a very impressive eye-catcher. 
Resin has been used to fill the swordfish.

THE STORY
The swordfish bill is engraved by a Balinese artisan who's family has been carving for generations. The skill is traditionally passed down from father to son.

This master craftsman has intricately carved a dragon and phoenix motif into this large Swordfish Tusk. As you can see, the carving is of extremely high quality and has an immense amount of detail. It could be seen as a type of scrimshaw; the name given to engravings and carvings done in bone or ivory.

The tusk is 86 cm long.
