[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9616845, member: 2844"]Martin, it is difficult to see, but I think it could be molded plaster covered with a layer of real cinnabar. That was done quite a lot in the late 19th-early 20th century. So probably an early fake, and not as valuable as handcarved cinnabar. If it is indeed an early fake, there is an upside, because you have less toxic cinnabar to worry about.[/QUOTE]
