Ivory Turning, Sri Lanka in early 1900s #IMG692 Ivory Carving in Early Sri Lanka In Sri Lanka elephants are endangered & ivory carving, as an art no longer exist. Once famous for the numbers & quality of it’s elephants, whose tusks were carved & exported since ancient times.
This just a fantastic site! I’ve read Martin Wikramasinghe’s books but it was quite hard to get an image of early 90s even though I live in the southern coastal area of Sri Lanka. This has been a great help! Many thanks and keep up the good work!
