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

ears arae pointed. The bottom and the back of the pendant is flat,
and the height is 1 1/4 inches. Suitable for a pendant or
charm. Price:$88.00
