Gorgeous set. My father in law was a volunteer priest in third world countries for the last 60 years. He would buy locally made products to help the local people, and then send them all home. But we can't keep everything. This set is hand carved. $50 for the set. No damage. Note that these are sold for decorative use only, I do not know what sort of wood they are made from or what they may have been in contact with.
