    Right or wrong tmb, I like it too much to take back

    I can easily get more than my money back from the base which screws off

    Just gonna enjoy it for a while anyway

    Keep it and love it so at least it’s appreciated for its beauty and workmanship.
    If you take it back it may just be destroyed :(

    It's really nice! I would keep it.
    I have struggled with the ivory quandary myself. In the end, I have decided that keeping the item with deep respect for the elephant is the only thing you can do.
