Dangling Heffalump

This small bracelet charm is probably Victorian and made of ivory.

 

I know that the ivory trade is something that should be utterly repressed, but that should not lead us to ignore or destroy historical items made of that material.

 

We must bear in mind that the past is another country and they do things differently there.
