BOAR TUSK

Object/Artifact

-

St. Joseph Museums

The image shows a curved, ivory-colored tusk or horn placed on a surface next to a metal ruler, which measures approximately 15 centimeters in length. The tusk appears to be weathered, possibly indicating age or wear, and is secured with a small piece of string that loops around its middle. The background is a dark gray surface, providing contrast to the objects, allowing for easy visibility and comparison. There seems to be a tag attached to the tusk, suggesting it might be categorized or documented for study, collection, or display purposes, possibly in a scientific or educational setting.
