These trinkets were in a glass case at the Peabody, I held a quarter up to the glass to show how small they are.

    Wow! These are really cool! I hope your scan went well today Lisa. Heard the roads were bad and glad you made it home safely. We are supposed to be getting that stuff today...UGH!

    They're lovely, although I cringe at the thoughts of the ivory trade. I'm sure these are quite old so hopefully gathered in a 'better' way?
