This beautiful, large cameo was carved from an extinct woolly mammoth tusk. This fossil mammoth ivory has been fashioned into this detailed mother & child jewelry. This legal fossil ivory was unearthed by Eskimos and carved by their master carver, in Alaska. The yearly melting of the snow and the re-mineralization through time has given the mammoth ivory it's unique, distinct color.

We have hand wire wrapped this large cameo mother child mammoth ivory in 925 sterling silver and accented with an attractive bail.

Pendant Size: 2" L X 1 1/8" W X 3/8" D, Cameo size: 35mm L X 27mm W. Chain not included.

Note: The woolly mammoth coexisted with early humans. They used its bones and tusks for making art and tools as well as for food. Mammoths disappeared from its mainland range at the end of the Pleistocene, some 10,000 years ago. Some mammoths survived on St. Paul Island until about 5,600 years ago and on Wrangel Island until 4,000 years ago. Woolly mammoths were hunted to extinction by early humans. Scientists think that climate change and the shrinkage of habitat finally overtook the last surviving individuals.
