Information:
The
Woolly Mammoth lived during the Pleistocene that was 2.58 Million to
11,700 years ago. This Mammoth had large ivory tusks and is related
to an extinct elephant genus and was about the size of today's
African Elephants. The Woolly Mammoth coexisted with early humans
who hunted these animals for food. However, they became extinct at
the end of the Pleistocene probably because of climate change and
hunting.
The
Woolly Mammoth Ivory
I use comes from Siberia.
Most of these fossils come from native people who collect them on
river banks and from various digging sites.
This
particular piece is from near the bark of the tusk and has
multi-colors.
Ebony is a super dense black wood that will sink in water. The
wood takes on a beautiful smooth finish when polished and can
sometimes have brownish colored streaks. Ebony is considered an
ornamental wood and historically was used for the black keys of a
piano. Cameroon ebony comes from the Western Africa nation of
Cameroon and was legally obtained.
This wood is one of the most expensive of all woods and provides a nice
contrast to the Woolly Mammoth Ivory.
