<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 935957, member: 5833"]Yes. A tagua nut is a good size to carve into an ojime, but you'd need a relatively huge one to carve something like these. You could use tagua for the revolving faces but I am not at all suggesting that was done. The Chinese have become as good with resin ivory as they are with making things look like ancient bronze.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
