Wonderful items in this thread !!
These are very modest example I have. On the one with the face, the base is in elephant ivory and the other part may be in sperm whale ivory. |

A couple to add - the second in next post
1. Bone(?) I think, despite the 'ivory'-seeming patina. 8 cm; ex collection Martin Kerner. |

2. Ivory, 9.5 cm. Unusual to find an open beak? There is another with open beak in post #24, the one on the right.
