Summary
Pathe synopsis: At Edgbaston, Birmingham, we visit the home of Mr George Cohen to see one of the most interesting private collections of jade and ivory in the country. Craftsmanship that has gone into these carvings is even more remarkable considering the tremendous toughness of jade - second only to the diamond in hardness - as a working medium. In their own right the ivory ornaments are no less beautiful.
