As a knifemaker I have worked with walrus ivory often in the past. So I‘m 100% sure that this is walrus. The prices for that kind of material are very high. It looks not very old but the prices for a piece of raw ivory of that size (with cites ) will be at around 300 $ or more. Not a material that somebody will use for a tourist trap
Just my opinion

Best Thomas

„Fresh“ and creamy, aged pieces
