Where to sell something like this (physical goods)

Well then this is rather different, not sure where to look since google gives me tons of crap. I guess there's a specialized market for these kind of things...somewhere...it's just so damn rare, all that I can find is some antique Chinese statues, small random statues and door nobs (lol). Thing is that this is illegal to either buy/sell in some places, like a few states it's illegal to buy/sell/import/export but it's legal to own and pass down in the family. Some other places like where I live it's completely legal as long as one is able to prove that it's old enough (made prior to 1970 or 1980 or something like that). The one that I have was given as a gift to my grand parents back in the 40's or 50's, can't really ask anyone since everyone is dead. All I have to prove it's age is old photos of people who are dead with this in the background and some paperwork too.
Anyhow, the question is, where the hell can something like this be advertised and sold? -and does anyone know what something like this could be worth?

Fun fact, this one is just over 64cm long and yes, it's genuine ivory.

I would try your hardest to sell it IRL. Ebay is very buyer friendly, so anyone can say something and return it and send you trash.

Try FB marketplace, Craigslist, anything locally when it comes to high value items

It's a niche market and you'd probably find a serious buyer there but it may take a few months in listing fees.
Rip, a few months :{

Most of the things that I have sold or rented out via fb marketplace have resulted in tons of spam with irrelevant questions or simply questions to answers that were in the original post :D
There's no local sites for actual proper collectors which kinda sucks...there's however sites for crap, like, just that, crap n stuff...
Pretty sure selling ivory is illegal in the states (if you live there)

Could be wrong

Don't live there and yeah, it's illegal in some places but not all and it depends on the age of it. All new stuff is mostly illegal but old is ok as long as one can prove that it's old too.
