What reading level is Monograph On Ivory Carving in Burma book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The carver himself designs and draws his patterns, which are usually of the conventional Burmese type, unless copied from Euro- pean models by the direction of the purchaser.
Family patterns are preserved and handed down.
The following account of the processes employed is based on the description given by an ^A;-ivory carver * resident in Rangoon.
The tusk is first cut to the required shape and size with a da, saw, or axe, as the case may be, and then smoothed by the application of a file.
This... done the required design is sketched in pencil on the sur- face of the ivory. Holes are next made with a small gauge, which is hammered with a deer's antler when necessary.
Particular stress is laid on the point that only deer's antlers are used. Iron and wooden hammers or mallets are respectively too heavy and too light. If a wooden mallet is used in carving, being soft and light, it will not have the desired effect on the ivory.
Iron hammers, on the other hand, being hard and heavy, there is great danger of the work being spoiled if they are used.
