<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 4537219, member: 10944"]Not mine I’ll start by saying. It’s in a lot described as Chinese carvings. I can’t tell what the base is that the hand sits on. Almost looks like a nut of some type. Not the type of nuts I know Chinese to carve though. Maybe darker coral? Since it has a little bale it could have been a charm or pendant? I know the clenched fist was popular in the Victorian era. I did find some Chinese carvings of the fist too. This is the best photo available. Just curious what the material is really if anyone knows. [ATTACH=full]401306[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
