[QUOTE="Tristan334, post: 4568681, member: 77412"]I agree with all_fakes. Seems the darker shaded areas are intended to give the appearance of age, but are too uniform. After seeing a lot of the pictures I would say that it is 'marfilina', a composition of ivory powder, bone, silicates and resin. Attached photos of pieces executed with this material. Thank you all very much for your help. [ATTACH=full]405758[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]405759[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]405760[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
