      Are the teeth made of Ivory. They are quite impressive, the artistic history of China is so interesting - everything has a meaning beyond what you see. Makes you wonder what the artisan was thinking when he conceptualized this.

      Hi foxfjord! I think the teeth were just carved wood, but there is a lot of ivory work in Hong Kong. They claim it comes from Siberian mammoth tusks and not elephants, but I wouldn't know how to tell... Art takes so many interesting forms...

      Thank you Roger!

      Hi Cowgal! I'm off to the pool right now! :-)

      Hey Felipe! I tried a few shots where the closer lion was out of focus but I like this frame better. See ya'
