The crafts of ivory carving and ivory turning are distinct. The ivory carver is usually an all round craftsman of the highest rank, a galladdā, used to practise both painting and building also; the ivory turner does no other work, and belongs to the vaḍuvō. These distinctions have been explained on p. 54.
