NO RESERVE PRICE - Stunning Swordfish tusk mounted on a custom pedestal - Rostrum on stand - Xiphias Gladius - 66 cm - 7 cm - 7 cm- Non-CITES species

Swordfish tusks, technically called rostrums, are notable elongated, pointed extensions of the upper jaw used by the swordfish for hunting and defense. This mounted swordfish tusk specimen spans approximately 66 cm, presented on a custom pedestal for display. Swordfish (Xiphias gladius) are large predatory fish found in temperate and tropical oceans, recognized for their distinctive sword-like bills. Historically, swordfish rostrums have been collected as trophies, maritime curiosities, or natural art objects due to their striking form and size. The tusk's smooth, dense texture and elongated shape make it aesthetically appealing for collectors or nautical-themed interiors. Displayed on a pedestal, the tusk becomes a sculptural piece that highlights its elegant, streamlined shape. While swordfish are not covered under CITES restrictions, ethical sourcing is important in preserving marine life. Such natural history artifacts serve as conversation starters and add an oceanic element to home or office decor.
