Ivory

More than 20 years ago before the great storm over elephant ivory started, I used to collect it and have many wonderful pieces. This is a tusk of 1 meter (3 foot). Ususally these tusks are carved with elephants on them, but I found this unusual one with rhino. I am sorry if anyone looking at this is offended by these pictures.
