Hello, has anybody questioned about this pommel of what sort of ivory it is; I guess those cockatoo-pommels are elephant ivory (imported), but this could be a different kind of ivory -f.e. duhong-tooth, whalestooth- which would determine/explain this particular shape ("tulip").
hpe I'm 'making sense'?

Example .
This is a form unto itself; not a re-shaped kakatua . Last edited by Rick; 24th October 2011 at 05:11 PM. |
