Croc Carving

[jayembee]

Got this exquisite crocodile carved from a single piece of Jacaranda tree. I don't have a place to display it and it would probably get ruined if it was exposed to the outside elements. It's 7 feet long and 10 inches wide at the belly area. The details of the carving are incredible and obviously took many hours to create.
I'd like to sell it but I'm sure I'd let it go for much less than what it's worth. So, can anyone help me out with an estimate of it's worth or a lead to getting an appraisal?
thanks in advance and here are some pics.

Here are more pics and there are no carvings on the belly. Just raw wood.
