<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 9173726, member: 36"]Brass and bone, made in India most likely. I can't read the language on the newspaper, but it looks like an Indian language written in the Latin alphabet. The back of the carved bit shows dark spots (blood channels), where blood vessels went through the material. Ivory wouldn't have those.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
