Can tusk be used for sculpture?
1 Answer
Yes, ivory tusks can be used for sculptures and figurines. However, the U.S. and many other countries have banned the import of ivory, meaning many artists no longer work with the material. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of sculptures from some of the world's top galleries.
