[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 7658612, member: 2844"]That is so cute! And ditto on cat. It could be Burmese amber, which is popular in China and often has this colour, as well as a darker reddish shade. But as usual, the Chinese also make faux Burmese amber, which is also very pretty. Whichever material it was, it was likely heated and pressed into a mold, and the details were carved. China has made netsukes for the Japanese and internatonal market ever since the Qing dynasty.[/QUOTE]
