The psychology, symbolism and cultural history of Ivory.
In Western cultures, ivory symbolizes purity and refinement, frequently used in weddings and formal events. However, in some African cultures, it is a sign of wealth and status, contrasting with its conservation implications in modern contexts.
The term 'ivory' originates from the Latin word 'ebur', meaning 'elephant tusk'. By the 19th century, ivory became increasingly rare due to overhunting, leading to the establishment of conservation laws, changing its perception from luxury to a symbol of ethical responsibility.
