Camel Bone Ivory Carving:

Due to the international ban on ivory trade, master craftsmen faced challenges in their art. However, art lovers stepped forward, introducing camel bones as a substitute for ivory. Camel bone, with its luster and shine resembling ivory, became a viable alternative. Unlike ivory, camel bone is plain, lacking the printed darker shade thin stripes seen on ivory.

Travelers to Africa are cautioned against purchasing ivory from the black market, as there's a high probability of acquiring camel bone at exorbitant prices. This initiative not only protects elephants but also repurposes camel bones, providing a livelihood for craftsmen. Your patronage supports the survival of this beautiful art form.
