Species displayed: Full skin of Wreathed Hornbill (Rhyticeros undulatus); Skull and casque of Rhinoceros Hornbill (Buceros rhinoceros); Casque of a young Helmeted Hornbill (Rhinoplax vigil), which traders would not buy because it only weighed 40 grams, and the minimum is 70 grams. This young bird’s casque is too thin to carve.
