Lot Highlights
Immerse yourself in the majesty of Africa with these Grand Heritage African Elephant Tusks, sourced from the expansive savannahs of Kenya. This extraordinary pair of tusks, each measuring 82.55 cm, captures the essence of one of the most revered and iconic species on the continent.
Rarity and ValueЖ Elephant tusks are incredibly rare and valuable, primarily due to strict international regulations aimed at protecting these majestic creatures. These particular tusks are from a bygone era when legal procurement was still possible, making them not only rare but also highly valuable as artifacts of natural history. Their impressive size and pristine condition further enhance their desirability and worth, making them a remarkable acquisition for collectors and museums alike.
Discovery and ProcurementЖ The tusks were legally acquired decades ago from a naturally deceased elephant in Kenya, under the guidelines that were in place at the time. Since the ban on ivory trade, such items have become artifacts, symbolizing a complex history of conservation. Each tusk bears witness to the life of an African elephant, offering insight into their existence in the wild savannahs of Africa.
Craftsmanship and Presentation Expert artisans have meticulously preserved and restored these tusks, employing techniques that highlight their natural color and intricate texture. The preservation process involves careful cleaning, polishing, and sometimes, minor restorations to ensure the tusks maintain their integrity and aesthetic appeal without altering their original form. This human touch respects the natural beauty of the ivory while preparing it for display as a significant piece of art and history.
