Description

Half the pieces are sandlewood, the black ones not so sure, i have been told ebony...mother of pearl inlaid around edges. that's about all i know. Pieces are in great shape except one broken head on camel and a couple broken tusks on elephants. I think it's handcarved because none of the pieces are identical.

i have tried and tried to download pics but not working so if interested in appraising or purchasing i guess i will have to email them to you.
