Message This is a very interesting item. First you have to look if you see crossed lines on this material. If there are non, you may be looking at bone or plastic, rather than ivory. The frogs/toads are usually connected to money or good fortune coming your way. It seems to me that it has been recently manufactured. There is a possibility that it has been made in China.
