Description

My husband found at a garage sale about 15 years ago. It has very detailed carvings and etchings. Looks Chinese. Picture quality is bad, it appears alot darker than really is. It's dark tan in color but alot lighter than photos. Anyone have any idea what , how old and where its from??

Get a straight pin and heat it with a lighter, really hot. Stick it in the bottom, if it goes in then it is plastic or resin. if not then it is bone or ivory.
