This is the "MOST" fantastic "CARVINGS" that I have seen on a "QUAN YIN", it is from my "PRIVATE COLLECTION". Just take a look at all my pictures and I will let the pictures do the "Talking", believe me you can't not be dissapointed with this "AMAZING" piece of "Ivory".

CONDITION: Excellent condition, besides couple of broken little pieces on her "ribbons", one near her face and the other one next to her left hand, also very little chips on the bottom of her robe at the right hand.

If you don't see this little chips on my pictures, please e-mail me and I will try to get some pictures to you of the little chips. EBAYS NEW RULES STARTING JANUARY 1 WILL PROHIBIT SALES OF IVORY PERIOD, LEGAL OR NO LEGAL. YOU WON'T SEE ANY IVORY SALES !!! NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY !!! This Ivory has a legal entry into U.S.A. by the Fish & Wildlife Dept. , also by C.I.T.E.S. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services , said that the sales and buying of Ivory is LEGAL within the 50 States of U.S.A., and that the Import or Export of Ivory is ILLEGAL and prohibit. This is a PRE-BAN Ivory and I abide by all laws, rules and regulations of governing authorities on the sale, import and export of Ivory. As per various laws and the eBay rules surrounding the sale of ivory products, this item is available for sale in the United States ONLY. It is a vintage piece that we have owned for many years and have a legal right to sell. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT ABOUT THIS TUSK, PLEASE WAIT AND READ IT: As a "HEADS UP", the value of this tusk can only grow. C.I.T.E.S. is NOT going to lighten up on the restrictions of importing/exporting Ivory. If anything, they will TIGHTEN THE RESTRICTIONS due to the burgeoning groups of very visible and vocal environmentalists and animal rights advocates. God's creatures that were born with ivory tusks (elephants, walruses, whales etc) will no longer be killed for their valuable and rare ivory except by poachers who are usually caught and prosecuted. The small amount of Ivory that is still remaining in this (and other) countries will become extinct…..when it's gone, it's "GONE". This tooth/tusk is an investment and unlike the stock market, the value will not collapse. IMPORTANT NOTE: Almost same size of Tusk, but NOT with this amazing carvings of Elephants, was listed on eBay for $15,000 and now selling for over $6,000. Take advantage at this unbelieveable PRICE.
