Rhinoceros horns (tjoela) is an article which is made valuable by the superstition of Arabs and Chinese. They believe that a horn like this, made into an amulet and worn, prevents any accident. Further that a cup made out this horn will show certain signs when the liquid inside is poisoned. This horn is therefore valued at 10-20 guilders or more.
