Woolly mammoths are extinct relatives of today’s elephants. They lived during the last ice age, and they may have died off when the weather became warmer and their food supply changed. Humans may also be partly responsible for their disappearance due to hunting. Although the word “mammoth” has come to mean “huge,” woolly mammoths were probably about the size of African elephants
There tusks that have been found are only legal ivory to be sold today

How sweet it is ...smiling
The stand is a natural root wood stand. Beautiful! Where did you get these carvings??
Celine from a Art Gallery that was closing in NY many years ago and not inexpensive . I thought stand looked like a root and they all have numbers on bottom . Is it teak wood ?
Absolutely AMAZING!
Great one too! The root stand almost looks like it is carved too, that is art!
What an amazing piece
The stand is great and really matches the art carving nicely !

So different from the other one with its wood stand which adds another element to enjoy. Great piece!
They just call it rootwood. Could probably come from any wood with interesting roots.
