[QUOTE="Popyacap, post: 3726003, member: 19021"]Greetings. My aunt passed away about a year ago and she had quite an art collection. She was wealthy and she traveled around the world with her husband collecting art. My family is struggling to determine values. The statue in question is a 32" tall ivory tusk of the Chinese Goddess of Mercy, Quan Yin, I believe. It has what I believe to be a naturally occurring vertical crack on the front but not easy to see. This is the most intricate carving I have ever witnessed firsthand. My family and I wish to know what value it holds. We believe it was purchased directly from China in the late sixties. Photos can be viewed here: [COLOR=#ff0000]Ad Deleted, Photos added here[/COLOR] It is not necessary to read the ad as any relevant information is already in this write-up. I appreciate your time and knowledge. Thank you.[/QUOTE]
