Dear All,
Are there collectors that have real old ear-rings made from Hornbill ivory ?
Enclosed some that I have collected about 5 years ago. Now I am slowly finding out that these are recently cut, as they turn up everywhere, also on ebay and sometimes even for ridiculous low prices.
Anyway it looks like most are made too recent to be healthy for the Hornbiil population in Borneo.
Any expertise amongst us on age of these pieces ?
Thanks,
willem
