Message:: [QUOTE="Aquitaine, post: 340959, member: 602"]OK, have had this for some time.....and had forgotten I even had it except another post triggered the memory!!!!  I assume it was something Mom had picked up possibly at an auction, but who knows!!!  It appears to be made of bone....the figures on the top I believe appear Chinese....has some sort of miniature game inside with one sort of "top" (?)....to me it's fascinating....but I'd love to know JUST what it is!!!!  And WHAT KIND OF BONE.....whale????  The two sliding lids fit snugly into two separate grooves on/in the top as you should see!  To me, it obviously has some good age and wear to it, but that's the extent of my knowledge about it....other than what I can show you!!!!  Thank you ALL in ADVANCE, as ALWAYS for your input and expert advice and opinions!!!!  DIMENSIONS are:LENGTH....2 11/16" less the lids tabsLG TAB.....5/8"SM TAB....5/16"HEIGHT...1"WIDTH....1 1/8"   so, I have 10 images, and in case they get mixed up, they're numbered, not that that matters!!!
