[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 247856, member: 55"]How about a photo of the underside of the base? That is often revealing if an item is cast. I'm not sure about the material; the little holes certainly suggest a cast item....but there are so many, that they make me wonder if it was just some kind of stone that was full of holes. Bone often has holes; but this doesn't really look like bone to me, and is rather large to be bone. So I'm sort of mystified.[/QUOTE]
