I had my eye on that one too, but I held off on the suspicion that it might be ivory. With a few exceptions for well-documented antiques, it is illegal to own, purchase or transfer elephant ivory in the US. I didn't want to take the chance of this one getting intercepted at the border. Glad you have it safely tucked away!

Best Regards,
