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. |
