Ivory statues are typically carved from the tusks of elephants, walruses, or other animals that produce ivory. Artisans use tools like chisels and knives to sculpt the ivory into intricate designs, often beginning with a rough outline before refining the details. The process requires considerable skill and patience, as the material is dense and can crack or break if not handled carefully. Due to ethical concerns and legal restrictions surrounding ivory trade, many artisans now use alternative materials or sustainable practices.
The statues can vary in price widely. Some of the statues can be found for as less as $10, while others are upwards of $2,000.
