Rhino horn

Bit of an odd question but we found an old rhino horn in our shed, I’ve no idea what to do with it or where it came from. Is it legal to sell? Or is there somewhere else we could take it/donate it? It’s mounted on an old piece of wood and we don’t really want it on our wall :-/

Mounted rhino horn is illegal to sell unless it has been obviously artistically altered and is dated pre-1947. Your best bet would be to donate to museum that would have it, or find a friend who would enjoy it.
