<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 9737191, member: 5833&quot;]Thank you for adding this to the inquiry.&nbsp; Based on what I&#039;m seeing of the edge of the background layers of both pieces, think we&#039;re looking at plastic there.&nbsp; The figures are carved; if they were molded they would be better.&nbsp; I hate to think they were still using ivory so casually mid-20th century, but the carvings aren&#039;t shell, and I can&#039;t come up with another material that might have been used that would look like this.&nbsp; Maybe little ivory fragments were still available, left over from earlier elephantine work.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
