UP FOR AUCTION TODAY WE HAVE THIS BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF AFRICAN ART. THIS IS A GENUINE AFRICAN ELEPHANT TUSK THAT HAS BEEN CARVED INTO A FIGURE OF AN AFRICAN WARRIOR OR AFRICAN CHIEF. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY PRE-BAN, I HAVE OWNED IT FOR OVER A DECADE AND I STILL HAVE THE RECEIPT SOMEW (not included). I PURCHASED IT FROM A LOCAL COLLECTOR. THE LENGTH OF THE TUSK WITHOUT THE ROUND STAND IS JUST OVER 16" AND IT WEIGHS 1 POUND AND 12 OUNCES. THE HEIGHT WITH THE WOOD STAND IN PLACE MEASURES JUST UNDER 18" TALL. THIS TUSK HAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PATINA ON IT AND I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED BY AN AFRICAN ART DEALER TO GUARANTEE THAT IT IS A "NATURAL" PATINA AND GENUINE "AFRICAN" IN ORIGIN. IT GOES FROM A CREAMY OFF WHITE TO A GOLDEN LIGHT BROWN NEAR THE TIP. IT IS HOLLOW AT THE BOTTOM W IT MOUNTS TO THE STAND, BUT FEELS AND SOUNDS VERY SOLID FROM THE CARVED PART UP. THE ARTISIAN THAT MADE IT PLACED A SMALL PIECE OF WOOD INTO THE HOLLOW PART SO THAT IT COULD BE MOUNTED ON THE STAND. IT STANDS UP VERY WELL AND MAKES A WONDERFUL SHOW PIECE FOR ANY AFRICAN ART DISPLAY. IT HAS A MAGNIFICENT NOBLE LOOK TO IT. THIS WOULD MAKE A FANTASTIC GIFT TO ANYONE THAT COLLECTS AFRICAN ART OR IVORY CARVINGS. E-BAY WILL NOT ALLOW THE SALE OF ANY MORE ELEPHANT IVORY AFTER JANUARY 1ST, SO BETTER BUY NOW WHILE YOU CAN! I ONLY SHIP TO THE UNITED STATES (no exceptions) AND I read more
