A very impressive eye-catcher on which a Balinese master craftsman has intricately carved a double dragon. The craftsman's family has been carving for generations, as this skill is traditionally passed down from father to son. This could be seen as a type of scrimshaw. Scrimshaw is the name given to engravings, and carvings are done in bone or ivory. APPROXIMATE DIMENSIONS: The tusk is 85 cm long NOTE: - Some of the images have been taken on a dark studio, colors may vary depending on the environment. - The base and cracks in the swordfish bill filled with resin. - 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.
