Description This statue has two markings- one on back and one on bottom of teak stand. Statue depicts Asian woman with grapes over one shoulder and a basket in her hand. My Great Uncle was a very famous jeweler from Miami and they brought this statue back and gave it to my mother after one of the last trips they made to the "Orient" All are deceased so the best we can figure it was around 1950-1955.

A great many of these are not actually ivory, but a cast resin, without actually physically examining the piece it's difficult to tell what you have. You can test for ivory with a red hot needle by pushing it into the base where it wont show, if it's resin the needle will melt the surface and give off a plastic smell.
