The material

Horn runs from honey and amber to near black, with a natural depth that pigment cannot match. It is polished by hand and often set beside bone for contrast.

How it is made

Pieces are cut, matched by tone and set as strips, pyramids or brick-set squares. Because every piece of horn is different, no two surfaces are identical.
