<p>[QUOTE="baltojoe75, post: 9437941, member: 76236"]I know the OP said it felt weird in the hand if it was a walking stick handle etc but I see signs that this piece was in contact with skin a lot. The dark spot on the top of the head area and on the sides of the arms is so much more pronounced than the rest of the ivory. It could have belonged to a boxer rather than being a depiction of someone specific.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
