Wonderful items in this thread !!
These are very modest example I have. On the one with the face, the base is in elephant ivory and the other part may be in sperm whale ivory. |

A couple to add - the second in next post
1. Bone(?) I think, despite the 'ivory'-seeming patina. 8 cm; ex collection Martin Kerner. |

2. Ivory, 9.5 cm. Unusual to find an open beak? There is another with open beak in post #24, the one on the right.

Hello Detlef,
The materials is marine ivory I think, the piece is rustic and looks old (about 100 years?), and it is partly damaged on one side. The first hilt from Loedjoe also seems to be from ivory to me but we would need to see the pesi hole for confirming it. Regards |
