Most ivories on these pages will be elephant or mammoth.   All of the elephant ivory is vintage and acquired through estates and individuals and was legally imported in years past.  Mammoth ivory may be vintage or contemporary and comes from the Wooly Mammoth that roamed the northern hemisphere between 2 million and 10,000 years ago.  Other ivories will be identified when their source is known.
