Antique Solid
I have an antique elephant ivory statue of Christ . Is it illegal for me to own? Value?

I’m seeking information and a value for an ivory statue that I have had for 50 yrs. An importer confirmed that it is solid ivory (elephant because of the size), figure 8 ¾” tall, base 2”tall, 2 ¾” dia. He said that it was now illegal for me to own such a piece. He also said that it was unusual in that the figure was Christian not oriental or African. There is a perfect circular mark on the left shoulder that he suggest might be a plug and speculated that it could have been used for smuggling in a small hole beneath. The statue was purchased in the Panama Canal Zone. Any information you could share would be greatly appreciated, especially about the legal aspects and value.

I didn't think it was illegal to own antique ivory. After all, many old pianos have ivory keys, and they're not illegal. I think only new ivory is illegal. If I were you I would find an art appraiser to find out the value.
