AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautifully large 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 bale of turtles 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 72 cm long

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 the pictures.
- Our tusks are cleaned professionally, but sometimes minor discoloration still occurs. This is natural and normal, and not something we can do a lot about. Please refer to the pictures.
- Please be aware some of these pictures have been taken in a dark studio, colors may vary depending on the environment.
- THE WEIGHT MENTIONED IS INCLUDING STAND AND PACKING MATERIAL.
