They were produced to tickle the jaded aesthetic palate of tho rich aud liiMirious, mid only those who may trifle awny what they will indulge themselves to any considerable degnsi in curved ivory. In all such article the cost of the raw material i small in comjuinson with that of the lnlr.

The carver of ivory use much the same tisils as the wood carvers, but of lighter ml more delicate make. Tl r work ii extremely tedious ami luliorious.
