This fine group example of the cinnabar snuffs.  Cinnabar is tree sap that is layered over and over and then carved.  True cinnabar is extremely rare, so I am going to assume these are reproductions difficult to tell the repros from authentic).  However, they are the nicest I have seen (and I have seen many).  The four shapes are a great example.  Of course, there is the brass bottom with chops.  They stand approx 2 5/8".
