Description

Very unusual collection of 2 boars tusks joined together and one decorated with a pentangle? Boars tusks have a long standing mythological significance and feature in Norse, Viking, Anglo Saxon and Germanic cultures often linked to deities. So I assume these pieces have a ceremonial/occult significance but I have not seen anything like it before. The smaller tusk looks to be one piece and has a coin/bronze medallion in the centre with pentangle decoration. It looks to have been painted white at some point. The larger piece is two tusks joined together by wire and stuck together . It is difficult to judge the age of this but the one with the pentangle looks to have some age ,c1890 but could be earlier. Please refer to the detailed photographs and feel free to contact me if you would like to view the items or have any questions.
