Tapered thickness: One cross-cut section is thicker than the other. Consistent width with reserves on both ends. The underside is almost flat. The piece displays its original, natural ivory tone. The colour of the outer layer of bark is a mix of beige and grey.
Geological Epoch: Pleistocene Age: Over 10,000 years Origin: Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Siberia
This woolly mammoth ivory piece is not stabilized or epoxy-filled. All of our pieces are unique in colour, structure, and shape due to fossilisation processes and long-term climatic conditions of the Siberian permafrost. No artificial treatments or restorations have been performed unless specifically stated.
