<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 291572, member: 5833&quot;]This guy turned up on eBay, with a number of other pieces, offered by a seller who had bought up the contents of a defunct store, among which was a box with an assortment of carvings, about which they knew nothing.&nbsp; Think they were in Washington (state).&nbsp; I fell in love with this one &amp; a bear that is also done in some sort of organic material.&nbsp; I showed the photos to the woman from whom I have bought most of my Zuni pieces, some of which are walrus teeth, &amp; she IDed it as tusk.&nbsp; The carving is so minimal &amp; it feels absolutely great in the hand, very smooth &amp; hefty, beautiful butterscotch color.&nbsp; I have a couple of scrimshaw pieces I think also use thin slices of tusk.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
