A beautifully carved Swordfish bill, a very impressive eye-catcher. A master craftsman has intricately carved a family of Wooly Mammoth 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. Resin has been used to fill the swordfish. APPROXIMATE DIMENSIONS: The tusk is: 92 cm long NOTE: - The base and cracks in the swordfish bill filled with resin. - Please be aware some of the pictures have been taken in a dark studio, colors may vary depending on the environment. - THE WEIGHT MENTIONED IS INCLUDING STAND AND PACKING MATERIAL. 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 SHIPMENT - The item will be sent with a Track & Trace code via DHL Parcel, DPD or postNl.
