Thanks sean , i'm so sorry for the elephants-) but hopefully they are protected today, but long time ago, ivory was very cheap and easy to get, with belgian congo.... also used in lot of art deco sculpture for that reason that ivory was cheaper than bronze... i love this times, when people, take time to do high quality work, just by hands..
