Exceptional polishing enhancing the important nodosities. Typical of workshops in Southeast Asia, particularly India. The upper part of the horn reveals its original matrix (linear striations). Nodosities are natural bulges found on older rhinoceros specimens. They sometimes develop as the animal ages. These natural curiosities can only be enhanced by polishing and sculpting.
