Purchased in Mauritius, an island in the Indian Ocean. These are lovely noodle tongs made of a resin-like material that mimics animal horns. They can be used widely for picking up spaghetti and other noodles. The Chandrani Hotel shop had a collection of tasteful goods with a French flair. Although they are new and unused, please understand that they are pre-owned items due to long-term storage at home before purchasing.
