Interesting piece. I would think that the glue residue on the back of the hilt once held a silver plate of the shape shown by the glue.

I WOULD AGREE ITS ELEPHANT, THE PINKISH COLOR WOULD INDICATE ASIAN ELEPHANT NOT AFRICAN. A NICE DAGGER PERHAPS YOU CAN SEE A SIMULAR EXAMPLE TO SEE WHAT DECORATION IS MISSING FROM THE GRIP.

Gorgeous and unique piece. It is ivory, but not walrus.
Congrats! |
