Second Time Around

A couple of weeks ago
I got a few items at an antique store
to complete the top of the cabinet



The cranes match a piece of art work
in the room


I originally thought 
that they were carved out of a hard plastic
similar to bakelite
however a fellow blogger Karina
post a comment that lead me to research them
the and I believe
 they might be carved out 
of some kind of horn
Thanks to Karina at Thas Nifty
if anyone else has any info
I'd appreciate it

I also found a ceramic bell jar


I think it works it well

  4. I think your cranes are carved horn, maybe buffalo, not plastic. They reminded me of a ship sculpture my grandparent's had. you might want to google search: heron carved horn. There was one in the shopping tab, that looked a lot like yours.

    Yours are fabulous! thanks for sharing :)
