With a shoulder height of approx 4 metres (13 feet), this is one of the largest species of Mammoth to have ever lived. It is also much older and very much rarer than the more commonly encountered Woolly Mammoth. This piece is in good condition, as seen in the images. No restoration whatsoever. The black-and-white section of the ruler in the image represents 10 cm / 3.9 in.
