Hand-carved buffalo horn Total length: 19cm The dragon scales and other details are very finely crafted. My grandfather's hobby, purchased 20-30 years ago. Lightly cleaned. Will be packaged and shipped in a box. Buffalo horn is widely used for its hardness, flexibility, and beautiful marbled patterns in items such as seals (for imprinting), combs (for hair care), spoons, spatulas, gua sha tools, and acupressure sticks. Its main component is protein, and as a natural material, it is gentle on the skin and believed to be good for the body. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed to have antipyretic and detoxifying effects, and it is also considered a power stone with effects on financial luck and warding off evil.
