Tagua? Tagua is the seed of a palm tree that grows near the equator. The
seeds are harvested without harming the environment, then dried. After
several years of drying, the seeds are carved into many things, such as
figurines, pendants, or used for inlay work when ivory is not available.
Tagua was once used for buttons, before plastic was invented, because
of its durability.
