Hello Greg,
Quote:
In the Malay world, hippo has a reputation for staying white longer than the other ivories. It also is a tiny bit harder material, on average. It's certainly the Arab merchants whose network connected Africa with Asia. We also see walrus and extinct mammoth ivory being utilized throughout Asia - maritime (as well as overland) trade has been the main player in connecting cultures for millennia... Regards, Kai |
