<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 5732996, member: 10944"]This came in a lot of small Asian object. Chinese and Japanese carving and other bits. What the heck is it!!!? Seems to be a natural material but not one that I’m familiar with. Strange (to me) structure. I don’t know why ambergris came to mind as something from an animal that I’ve never seen carved. Was trying to think of materials I’ve never seen that could be used. It’s very light weight, not dense at all. Only an inch or so high. I assume Chinese. I don’t know why I get the feeling it’s out of a gut or something weird I’ll be very interested to know what it actually is!
