Bones and Horns are natural products serving
many utilitarian and ornamental purposes from time immemorial.
We do not buy horn
or bone where the animal has been killed for its horn or bone.
We do not buy or
work with any horn or bone of any endangered species.
The bone and horn are
derived from animals which are brought to abattoir for human consumption.
The India Water Buffalo
Horn (Bubalus Bubalis)
is much harder than the cow or ox horn commonly available in other countries
and has a minimum chance of cracking or breaking.
The
bones and horns are seasoned for six months at more than 100 degree F. The
bones and horns are then cleaned with detergents and chemicals and scraped
and buffed to remove all bone particles and impurities.
To make bone and horn
products, we cut them into desired shaped and sizes. They are completely
dried and sandpapered before being carved, jigged or dyed. The same drying
and cleaning process is adopted for making horn ware. The horn is molded
into desired shapes. Then comes the final step of
buffing and polishing.
The bone and horn
handicraft is designed by our designers and the final shape of the product
is given by our artisans.
