boar tusks

Wild pig teeth

Boar tusks are the elongated canine teeth of wild boars, curving upward from the lower jaw.

They serve as weapons and tools for rooting.

The tusks have long been used as decorative objects, trophies, and materials for carving: a necklace of boar tusks, boar tusks mounted on the wall.
