Note on Ivory:

We, at David's, hold a deep respect for nature and all living beings. It is our firm stance against the use of any part of nature or living things for art or amusement at their expense. Our commitment to this principle is reflected in our collection, as all our ivory pieces were acquired on or before the end of the 1960s. We offer these precious items in honor of the elephants, aiming to educate about antiquity and inspire respect for nature in current and future generations.
