It think it is a fine Japanese netsuke in ivory, signed 'Hogyoku' (宝玉). Meiji period I guess. Maybe, the specialists in this field could give more info.

I think this is an antique Japanese carved ivory okimono of good quality, not a seal, marks would be the maker's mark.
Collector's reference material on this subject might be helpful.

Netsuke or okimono, I'm no expert in anyway but I think size of the item and some extra information about what seems to be 3 holes in the second picture might give you some extra answers.
