Posted By: Marco Mon, Dec 31, 2018 The ivory figure was buyed in a auction house in London long time ago. I see this figure is fixed in the area of the fork. I am located on canary islands EU and help a old lady to sell the things. |

Posted By: Stan Sun, Dec 30, 2018 I don't see any Schreger lines. This appears to be cast resin and not ivory. See the link below. |

Posted By: Bokaba Mon, Dec 31, 2018 The pictures are very bright and we cannot tell if this is ivory or not. Ivory is outlawed for sale for the most part in the USA now. Some countries permit it. |
