Greetings: I had an inquiry today about jewelry -- or little decorative
objects -- carved out of peach stones (or pits). I'm familiar with the tiny
baskets that were made, and I believe I even have one here in the collection
that dates to perhaps 1900-1910.
Does anyone have any ideas of the origin of this craft? It seems to me
something along the lines of whimsies/tramp art/something like that, but I
don't know where to start.
Ideas?
