Lot Essay

Please note that some of the tortoiseshell included in this lot was restored in 1999. Many countries, including the US, restrict or prohibit entirely the import of property incorporating endangered species material that has been recently restored. Prospective purchasers are responsible for checking what restrictions or prohibitions apply prior to bidding. Inability to export will not be a basis for cancellation or rescission of the sale.
