IVORY TANGRAM SET 2

 

Arthur Bickerstaffe, who runs Small Antiques in England was kind enough to send me some pictures of a beautiful ivory or bone Tangram set. Not many details are known about it. I would guess it was hand carved in China sometime in the 1800's. The Chinese Dragons are a symbol of success and power.

Have a closer look this wonderful example of craftsmanship by clicking on any of the thumbnails below.
