This lot contains ivory. Due to recent changes in the laws of many countries (e.g.
US, France) Sotheby's recommends that buyers check with their own government
regarding any importation requirements prior to placing a bid. For example, US
regulations restrict the import of elephant ivory and prohibit the import of African
elephant ivory. Please note that Sotheby's will not assist buyers with CITES licence
applications where a buyer elects to either collect or arrange their own shipping,
nor will Sotheby's assist with the international movement of ivory by air, either
as freight or through hand carry. Sotheby's shipping will only assist in shipping
the lot to either domestic UK or EU destinations, where delivery is made by road
transport. A buyer's inability to export or import these lots cannot justify a delay
in payment or sale cancellation.
