Chinese Rhinoceros Horn Carvings

I found the article on Chinese Rhinoceros horn carvings @ http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/04/18/arts/raahorn.php interesting because they are stylistically different through various periods influenced by changing scholarly tastes + the value factor = size + color + rarity + quality (signed by known and recognized carvers), just like paintings, jewelry and gemstones.
