<p>[QUOTE="Oldwatches64, post: 565257, member: 10372"]Hi all,</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe my little monk is resin as there are no ivory or bone lines and there are the bubbles/marks of a molded piece. But here is my conundrum. He is VERY heavy and ice cold to the touch. When you pick him up and hold him to your cheek--it it exactly like holding an ivory billiard ball. Super cold and doesn't warm up for a few minutes. I thought plastic/resin pieces were warmer to the touch--so I am confused. Is there a different material that he may be made from? BTW--street market find in Hong Kong-only a few dollars-just loved his expression! Appreciate any of your expert advice![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
