What is the function and function of the horn?

The efficacy and function of the horn is to beautify and protect skin, soothe the nerves and massage acupoints.

Horn is mainly a handicraft made of sea ivory. Wearing it for a long time can make people's skin smooth and delicate, and make people's skin fair and beautiful. It can also play the role of rosy complexion, making people's skin look white and red. Wearing the horn on the body can generate friction with human skin, and then stimulate acupuncture points on the human body, which can relieve stress and relax people's mood.

Characteristics of the horn:

The horns are sea ivory, mostly the teeth of walruses in the Arctic Ocean, which can be carved as works of art, such as boxes and pendants. Sea ivory mainly comes from the sea near the Arctic Ocean. The tusks of the finpoda walrus are generally 0.5 ~ 1 m long, with a flat section of three petals, mostly pale yellow and cream-colored. The texture is rougher than ivory and hippopotamus teeth, and the inner core is brittle, which is close to ordinary bones.

The tusks of real walruses are not called "sea ivory" in the literary world, but "horns", and they must be dyed green as jade. For this, players need to pay attention to avoid being picked up by sellers and sell cheap synthetic materials to you as precious natural materials. The unstained ones are basically called ~ inner white corners.
