ivory

Ivory was extensively employed in ancient Egypt from Predynastic times. Ivory objects found include statues, jewelery, arrow and harpoon tips, containers, scarabs, combs, wands, inlays, perfume vases, legs of furniture, cosmetic spoons, gaming pieces, shallow dishes, and handles for knives, fans, mirrors, and whips. Ivory objects were sometimes stained or painted red, green, black, or brown.
