<p>[QUOTE="Norm, post: 2590304, member: 16225"]Thank you for all the replies. I would say that i am still on the fence about the item. I took more pics of the size. The hot pin testis definitely out of the question now. I guess I felt desperate to know if it was plastic. And once again the pin did not melt anything when i touched it to the tail end of the dragon. But im waiting on a black light to test the fluorescence of the piece. Thought it was funny about the monitors. But ill will keep updates posted on my discovery. Im truly not sure what to believe now because i bought the piece thinking it was bone. Then discovered that bone has a far different look. So then i thought it was ivory hints the pin test because im pretty sure its not plastic. But thanks once again and God Bless.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chinese dragon holding a brocade ball helps a lot too. Thank you.</p><p>Looking at ivory colored resin carvings it could possibly be that. But wouldnt it have melted if the hot pin touched it?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]271024[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]271025[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]271026[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]271027[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]271029[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]271030[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

Chinese dragon holding a brocade ball helps a lot too. Thank you. Looking at ivory colored resin carvings it could possibly be that. But wouldnt it have melted if the hot pin touched it?
