Description
My wife found these figurines at a local yard sale this last Saturday. They appear to be hand carved ivory, but I am no expert and need help to determine if possible. I appreciate all comments and help in advance. Maybe they are fake, but just need to make sure. Thanks again

Chinese Hand Carved Ivory Figurines
Based on the images these appear to be resin rather than ivory, but you'd have to have it tested to determine that. These are generally referred to as "Emperor & Empress" figures, the vast majority are 20 th Century. I suggest you do a search on ebay to give you an idea of the amount of this stuff out there.
