| Meer info | For more than 2000 years the delicate and intricately carved rhinoceros horn cups were highly valued for their magical properties. Thought to detect poison, they were later used by the kings of Europe. Part I uses literary sources and archaeological evidence to explore these and other myths about the rhinoceros and its horn. Diagrams and photographs accompany descriptions of the animal, and the various shapes, cytology and visual properties of rhinoceros horn are detailed so that the reader can easily distinguish between them. The author draws on first-hand knowledge to explain the carving technique, from trimming the horn through sketching and carving the design, to finishing and dyeing the final product. She presents a new identification system to classify the rare and beautiful artworks. |
