Set of Six Horn Effect Resin Inlay Napkin Rings



A set of six napkin rings in what I suppose to be resin although it has the look of horn, and could well be. They are all inlaid with a white zig-zag pattern and polished. The shapes are roughly triangular but the sizes and thicknesses are irregular, both things enhancing the natural effect.

5cm x 4cm deep (biggest)

Hand Carved Horn & Shell Souvenir Dolphin



Dolphin hand carved from horn and mounted on a beautiful magpie shell (cittarium pica), a native of the Caribbean, in turn bolt mounted onto a piece of horn. This is engraved with the name of a large Caribbean island I'm not allowed to name so presumably it's a souvenir. A beautiful item. 

10cm (h) x 16cm x 8cm

Hand Carved Bird Handled Scoop




SOLD

Large bowled spoon or scoop with a bird as the handle. It looks to be carved from horn although I can make no guarantees on this as there are some very convincing plastics. It is though hand finished, the legs being done with a fretsaw or similar and and the detail on the wings and feathers being engraved. A little bit of wear but in very good condition otherwise.
