The dealer does say...
"A SPECTACULAR WALLHANGER"
and in the earlier description...
"Material: Steel, bone & brass"
Later, he mentions "Elephant tusk"...
so which is it? It definitely looks like bone to me- and if an elephant tried to swing that thing around, with the thinness of the tang there's no doubt that it would break. Perhaps a ceremonial piece?
Pretty cool looking, though... but if you're looking for functionality and 'elephant tusk' I would definitely ask for my money back.
