    I wonder how this comes to be on the market, and what impact the fact that it is ivory will have. If it meets the estimates, the final price will be about a million euros (minimally). I suppose if you have that kind of money you can make the connections to see the rules bent. Anybody know what the rules are with respect to ivory in Germany?

    The piece probably has the documented provenance that would make it legal to sell anyplace ivory sales are not banned completely. It carries evidence of the time of its 16th century making in its own decoration. Some things just are not likely to be Chinese knockoffs, although there is probably a good chance this will go to a Chinese buyer, as much as a number of museums would no doubt like to have it.
