RARE Carved African Ironwood Rhino Sculpture - RARE Carved African Ironwood Rhino Sculpture. Sculpture is in very nice condition with minimal wear from display and age. Overall measures 9 3/4“ long by 9“ wide by 6“ tall. Getting African ironwood is difficult because the trees take up to 200 years to mature and are heavily protected by CITES. Because of rampant over exploitation exporting these dense hardwoods involves strict international quotas and permitting. This is really hard to get these days.
