For more information about these incredible works of art visit: belzmuseum.org/visit/ IVORY NOTICE: We share a love for elephants and abhor the poaching of even one of these magnificent animals. In that spirit, please note that this ivory is NOT from modern day elephants or elephants at all. Here is a quote from the museum website that might help clear this up: "Many of them were created from woolly mammoth tusks found in the permafrost of Siberia that date back 10,000 years. Upon their discovery, the tusks were traded to China and often carved into dioramas by artists in the 1900s." What is shown in this video are fossilized mammoth tusks, not modern day elephants tusks.

I'm not really sure, but they were all spectacular! If you get the chance to visit Memphis, this place is real hidden gem.

These items are not for sale. They are on display at the Belz Museum in Memphis, TN.

I share your concern about the poaching of elephants for their tusks. That is not what is happening in this video.

There is a city in Ukraine with the name Belz. However, that is only a coincidence. These carvings are at the Belz Museum of Asian & Judaic Art located in Memphis, Tennessee, USA. I don't know the full history of each of the pieces, but I do know that the museum is named for the founder, Mr. Jack Belz. Here is the website for more information. belzmuseum.org/visit/
