[QUOTE="blooey, post: 2488660, member: 12007"]I think it's quite a nice form and carefully detailed, whatever the material ..can you see any Schreger lines (cross section grain) in the material? However faint, there should be some grain visible if it is indeed ivory. Because of the shape of the carving, these lines would more than likely appear at the ends (head and rear) of the piece, so might be harder to spot.[/QUOTE]
