African bone figurine

Hello all
This was shown to me by an owner of a nearby shop, she had taken it to the local auctioneers and was told she couldnt sell it because it is modern ivory. Its clearly bone so i made a small donation and took it home. I dont think its anything worthwhile but thought i would get a second opinion here. 14” tall

Thoughts on age and origin?

 

Looks like ivory to me too.

 

And nothing I am familiar with... a mix between oriental and african figure... to me!!

 

Yes i see what tou mean by the mix, by default all african figures seem to emphasise the large lips, the head looks much more oriental. The pitting and the marrow in these pictures mean its bone though

 

Definitely bone. Is she a Guan Yin?

 

Chinese and bone. Definitely not ivory, so you're safe.
Could be 1910-1920.

 

This is no help really but I did find a pair made in the same chopped bone way that was listed on Ebay. They didn't sell as of this listing date. I thought it might give an idea of value.
