January 2006, the Ministry of Culture announced the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list recommended project list, ivory carving as a folk event on the list. Ivory carving to apply for national intangible cultural heritage, so that this ancient traditional art once again world attention.

     The maximum pressure for dental carving comes mainly from the double scarcity of materials and top talent. Now, the mammoth teeth came, although the raw materials less, but still saved the teeth carved.

     However, the art of dental carving is still not solved. Than the ivory material is more precious carving skills, and the art is to rely on people to inherit, in order to create a truly artistic ivory works, not ten years eight years of effort is not enough; this input cost is too big, and now Young people quick success, can not eat the bitter, so the people who can inherit less.

     Mammoth teeth are prehistoric creatures, not renewable. Due to climate change, most of the mammoth teeth can not be used for carving, the yield is only about 20%, and the perfect mammoth teeth is very few, the quality of the fiber density is even better than modern ivory, resulting in mammoth teeth Products more precious. These are both its shortcomings and its valuable.

     Some people simply think that mammoth teeth are just fossils, it is wrong. In fact, the mammoth teeth have been in Siberia this natural refrigerator inside the frozen, a lot of mammoth fur are still well preserved, and even some of the mammoth mouth with the grass is still green.

      From the texture, it is not worse than the contemporary ivory Coupled with the mammoth has been extinct for ten thousand years, this ivory has not renewable. So I think: whether it is used to carve or collection, the value of mammoth teeth are very high, is the best material of modern dental carving.

     From the ancient people's home toothpicks, chopsticks, to the emperor will be the palace of the precious teeth carved jewelry, everywhere visible carving style.

     Mammoth teeth carved moist material filled with noble, itself has a wonderful art of beauty. In modern times, it is novel. Whether it is for personal use, or gift, can be described as high-end air grade, there are low-key luxury connotation.

     Tooth carving is also good for the human body, with the same jade, collectors often play it, in addition to blood stasis, but also anti-radiation ... ... so many advantages, how its market prospects naturally self-evident. Moreover, the mammoth teeth is rare in the world of things, precious raw materials coupled with talented skills, the market potential is absolutely not to be underestimated.
