Ivory comes from a lot of things, but i doubt this came from an extinct animal one that went extinct durong the fucking bronze age.

Also the ivory probably came from like a narwhal or whale or something.

    Fuck guess it was made of mammoth ivory, guess i just assumed most of it had rotted away by now. Which still shows my retardation since im very well aware there are ivory artifacts found in europe dated in the tens of theousands of years.

    Mammoth ivory is actually quite easy to find online.

    There is a lot of mammoth ivory found in Siberia. Especially in the area where the permafrost is melting locals people are finding a lot of mammoth remains apparently.
