The ivory jars also interesting:
Ivory Jars: Made subtractively on a complex ornamental lathe. Instead of bending strips, the master artisan takes a single, solid block of ivory. Using specialized curved hooked blades (Passig-Werkzeuge), they hollow out the inside layer by layer. The turner carves a series of micro-thin, perfectly fitting concentric jars or spheres nested entirely inside each other out of that one solid piece.
