    Picked up a couple carved horn items recently. Not sure how old they may be. Anyone want to take a guess? Both have detailed work. Elephant stands 9 3/4" tall. Base of horn itself measures about 4 3/4" across. horn1.JPG horn2.JPG horn3.JPG horn4.JPG horn5.JPG horn6.JPG horn7.JPG horn8.JPG horn9.JPG

    Cute, from India. My dad bought a few for us kids in the 60s. They didn't have those glass eyes though, and I can't remember seeing horn carvings with those eyes when I was in India in the 70s. So I think this one is more recent.
    The tusks are bone, so you're safe.

    Is this a rhino horn?
