The tooth, complete and well-preserved, has an ivory to beige hue, with partially worn enamel revealing the root on the lower part. Its morphology is characteristic, with two distinct roots and a voluminous crown, showing a clean break on part of the upper surface. The external texture reveals a natural patina, testifying to its age and authentic animal origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible side allows appreciation of the detailed dental structure, with a marked contrast between the smooth, slightly shiny upper part and the duller, more porous lower part. The color nuances vary from creamy white to pale yellow, depending on the areas. No markings or inscriptions are visible on the tooth, which is typical for this type of natural object intended for taxidermy or scientific decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tooth is photographed vertically, allowing a clear view of its general shape as well as the junction between the crown and the roots. The whole is placed in a neutral grey support that highlights the anatomical details. The surface shows some natural irregularities, particularly on the crown where the enamel is partially chipped, accentuating the authentic and ancient character of the object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis specimen is ideal for display in a cabinet of curiosities, a naturalist showcase, or as a decorative object with a vintage aesthetic. It is a piece with strong evocative power, typical of 19th and early 20th-century taxidermy or natural history collections, although the precise era is not indicated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tooth has not undergone any visible restoration and retains its original patina. Its morphology suggests that of a large herbivore or carnivore, although it is not possible to precisely identify the species from the image alone. The object offers a beautiful visual presence thanks to its elongated shape and natural hue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item sold as is.
