    I know ivory is not popular these days and there are so many restrictions on selling it, as I have no paperwork on it.
    My neighbor had a home in Marseille, as well as Sardinia.
    Any info about artist, age, origin or value would be appreciated!
    TY, Eos

    Charming little thing. I might possibly be bone,wich makes it perfectly ok to sell I think. A close up pic would help ascertain if its ivory .

    Is there some kind of rough or ridged spot where you would strike a match?
