No, I realize those were from a sculpture, but the originals they represent are what I was asking about-- from what material do we think they were made? Ivory seems a good guess, wood not so likely...the bird beaks would break off wood pretty easily. Metal cast grips are not comfortable in the hand in the way that organics are.

Egad, I dangled a preposition up there. Forgive me, please.
