I have a strange fascination with odd and potentially illegal souvenirs. Think like ivory pieces, bear bile (not for consumption), rugs/decorative furniture made from endangered animals, etc. If you can't legally import it or "purchase" it in your country (like the BS ivory purchase ban in the US), all the better!

I'll be honest, I really want an ivory keyed piano and a rug made from a tiger or polar bear.

What are some souvenirs you've purchased and brought back to the west that are strange or better yet would trigger an environmentalist?

My buddy was visiting me in Bogota, we found this really cool goat leg that had been hollowed out and made into a booze flask, it had the hoove on it and everything, painted with a Colombian flag and a strap to carry around, it was probably 2' long. He didn't end up buying it because I told him the authorities in Canada would probably seize it, even if they didn't the goat leg flask would definitely trigger some enviro-weenies.
