My ivory Heron hook

This is one of the very few crochet hooks I made from walrus ivory and kept for myself. Technically it's a tatting hook. Approximately 4 inches long made from the root of the walrus tusk. The carving was colored temporarily to enhance the details. Not a bad little hook from what was tossed as "worthless scrap". I keep her in an antique box I found as a kid in an abandoned old house with other very old hooks. I think she's in good company.
