Swordfish - Horizontal Double Dragon - Tusk,A/021
Description
Beautifully carved swordfish bill, a very impressive eye-catcher.
The base and cracks in the swordfish bill filled with resin.
The swordfish bill is engraved by a Balinese artisan who's family has been carving for generations. The skill is traditionally passed down from father to son.
This master craftsman has intricately carved a Double Dragon motif into this large Swordfish Tusk. As you can see, the carving is of extremely high quality and has an immense amount of detail. It could be seen as a type of scrimshaw; the name given to engravings and carvings done in bone or ivory.

- Our tusks are cleaned professionally, but sometimes minor discolouration still occurs. This is natural and normal, and not something we can do a lot about. Please refer to the pictures.
