Little crocodile in ivory - D.R Congo - With a CITES certificate
This is a little crocodile carved in the tip of an elephant tusk, in ivory. Its exterior arch measures 34 cm - its interior one, 27 cm - Its weight is about 400 grams. This object comes with a CITES-European Union certificate, which is a certificate for commercial activities.
When my father deceased, Henri FRANCK, who performed his professional carrier in the former Belgian Congo from 1929 to 1950, I found a few objects in ivory among the items he brought back from Congo, including this little crocodile carved in Ivory. Such as all the colonists at the time, he lived in Léopoldville with his mother. It is normal that he acquired during his stay, until 1950, a few ivory items.
