Armadillo pocket pal, unless you can carefully drill your own hole or add a bail.
Carved with great care from walrus tusk, 42mm long
Working in and selling walrus and mammoth "ivory" is completely legal.

I bought this piece and several others in the early 1990s from a character who had worked on the Alaska Pipeline where he'd discovered the material, then vacationed in Indonesia where he discovered the carvers, put the two together and made a small business of it for a few years, then disappeared on his next adventure. The old guys who did the carving are long gone by now and this level of technical skill, experience, and creativity is harder than ever to find.
I hope these pieces will find good homes. Each one is unique.
