Xiphius gladius is also known as a swordfish or as a broadbill in some parts of the world. Xiphiuses are predatory fish that have large flat bills.

Generally the swordfish bills are not sold, they are cut off and discarded at sea by the fishermen. Occasionally crew members will keep a few here and there, and after much effort they can be beautifully finished and carved like scrimshaw. The core of a swordfish bill is vascularized, so that the bill does take some time to "cure" before it can be worked on as a display/art item. Since there is no lack of supply of the bills, I can only assume the reason you don't see more swordfish bill art/scrimshaw in waterfront galleries is that the selling price wouldn't justify the time to prepare and decorate them.
