Nice piece, Ottoman with walrus hilt. A bit like this one I had a few years ago.

Hello,
Really thank you all for all your precious comments !!! For the hilt, I put two more pictures, I really think it's ivory, these two pictures look like a teeth and his central core. The surface is really soft , an antique seller told me years ago two tricks for differentiate ivory with bone by touching it: ( sure, it's not enough ! ) 1. softness 2 put the piece on your cheek, ivory is cold and bone ''warm''. I tried with bone and this one, it seems to work... |
