Subject:Daikoku Figure - Ivory?
Posted By: swhite731 Mon, Sep 10, 2018 IP: 65.123.106.230
I believe this is a figure of Daikoku. I've been trying to determine if it is Ivory or some other material.
Shown is a photo of the mark on the bottom of the stand. I have not been able to remove the figure from the stand and am afraid to force it. Any help or info is appreciated.

Not Ivory.
The bottom looks like it is poured

I don't see any grain and suspect it is a resin or composite material.

See the link below for info on how to ID ivory.

Cheers,
Stan
