The Copalwood section has two hand-carved elephants depicted.The lower portion of the cane is turned at the top and tapers down to the tip; end cap is absent. This is a very unique and stunning cane, the curved tusk being approximately 8" long! Warthog tusk canes are especially prized for ivory replacement in canes, jewelry and scrimshaw carvings.
