Forgot to mention what AI tells us under which regularmentations falling hippo ivory since I am pretty sure that the ivory components of the keris in question are made from:
Hippopotamus ivory (teeth and tusks) falls under CITES Appendix II.Listing: Included in Appendix II since 1995.Definition: Species in Appendix II are not necessarily threatened with extinction, but trade must be strictly regulated to avoid over-exploitation.Trade Rules: International trade is allowed, but it requires the issuance of export permits, ensuring that the specimens were legally obtained and that the trade is not detrimental to the survival of the species.Status: A proposal in 2022 to uplist Hippopotamuses to Appendix I (prohibiting commercial trade) was not approved.
