Original Description:

Here for sale is a large (80cm) swordfish (Xiphias gladius) rostrum. The swordfish is a large migratory predatory fish which is caught for its meat, the fish is a non cites specimen meaning it is of least concern and not endangered in any way, the bill of the fish is actually a bi product.
The bone bill has achieved a fabulous deep orange patina from the natural oils within the tusk which have dried, its in fabulous condition overall but as with any hand carved item in a natural... material such as bone please expect some crazing and cracks as this is natural, the base of the bill has been filled and capped as the rostrums of the swordfish are hollow at the base and have jagged shape that looks like the letter W on each specimen.

Payments by paypal please.
