Mammoth Ivory Bark

The term "mammoth ivory bark" refers to the outer layer of the mammoth tusk, in contrast to mammoth ivory, which refers to the inner core of the tusk. Handles made from fossilized mammoth ivory bark come from mammoth tusks discovered in permafrost, where they have remained preserved for millennia.

Woolly, northern, or Siberian mammoths roamed the vast frozen plains of the Arctic for hundreds of thousands of years, leaving behind these fossilized treasures. Mammoth ivory bark handles have a unique and refined appearance. Each handle has its own distinct texture and color variations, making each piece exceptional.
