<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 289640, member: 55&quot;]I wouldn&#039;t think it was Japanese, even if your Aunt travelled there, and it was in a box of mostly Japanese items.&nbsp; I&#039;ve never seen a Japanese carved ivory croc, and a Google search doesn&#039;t turn up anything like this other than ones carved in Africa.</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; She could have obtained it as a gift; in an import shop, who knows.&nbsp;&nbsp; But the style is extremely similar to crocs carved in Africa from warthog tusks; and that&#039;s what I would think it is.&nbsp; It does not look at all like anything carved from Walrus tusk that I have seen. I believe it is from the south or east parts of Africa, perhaps the Congo, and is most likely warthog.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]93558[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]93559[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]93560[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
