At $3 to $5 a gram you should have quite good money in the amber.
It might be possible to do better with a scan of the original image at a fairly high resolution. I can't really be sure what it is. I'm inclined...
Great for utility, looks OK for quality, not much in the antiquity department. My feeling is that the stuff is about 40 years old.
I think they are supposed to be the goddess of the harvest Ceres/Demeter- note the profiles face a scythe: Excuse the hair splitting, but that is...
I love the way flappers dressed. I'm so old I can remember the way they undressed..............
Looks like a bit of relic to me. Despite the age I'd say the condition and subject would prevent any more than a minimal value. In the low tens...

That junk museum replica vase above helped me ID a 19th century piece I have. Well, I'm sorry, but that was unauthorised use of a decorative item...
'For decoration only' rather begs the question of 'What else would you do with it?' Drill for oil or use it as a hammer?
Hard to tell but I'd go for one of the now common tropical hardwoods with very unobtrusive grain like sapele or obeche, or even the old native, beech.
Mostly you don't cut them. You take a little chisel and after careful study,you hit the diamond and break a bit off. Then you use diamond dust to...
