Hi, can anyone help identify this? My grandma left me some "ivory" pieces, but I don't really have any info on it. I cannot find any identifying marks. Any info is appreciated.

Stylistically this appears to be a Chinese carving. The stand is similar to the type commonly seen on Chinese carved ivory sold to tourists and military personnel in Asia during the 2nd and 3rd quarters of the 20th century.

Best regards,

Bill H.
