Although commercially Ivory refers to the the tusks of elephants, hippo, walrus, and boar; the material found between the bone of the skull and the horn or antler material is by definition ivory. The dense portion of the base of an antler called the rosette or pedicle is more fibrous than bone and therefore less easily torn or splintered. The pores are closely compacted and filled with a gelatinous solution which contributes to the beautiful polish which it may be given and makes it easy to work. Antler has been chosen by Americans for its strength, texture, and workability to make carvings, handles for knives and tools, and much more for centuries. |
