Original text on this topic:
The rhinoceros horns arerather large because one can make four to six handles of swords from them.. They are sold as a piece, to make handles. An unworked piece sells for a toile, but when it is worked, it can cost three to four talaris. The entire horn has less value and never sells for more than a talari.
