Ya ivory they have put a big big ban on, I was looking at the sculptures coming out of Asia recently and it’s mind blowing the intricacy and size of some. (Think mid sized sedan ) adorned with gold, emeralds, ruby’s. And they are seizing stuff like that often! Idk who can afford to lose multiple shipments like that but it really opened my eyes

I think someone mistook your address for California and not Canada.
It went to 3 different post offices in the LA area before heading back north.

My wife has a nice collection of native arts handed down to her, she’s part Athabaskan.
Mammoth ivory, walrus tusks and oosik as well as jade, baleen and furs are popular native craft items here.
