With all due respect, it isn't the only mammoth ivory available, and mammoths have little to do with existing African wildlife.

Chess is a beautiful game, and this chess set could be a work of art. It isn't the only thing like it, however. We make things out of all kinds of material. It's better than using elephant ivory from recently slaughtered animals.

Besides, it's so pomo.
