<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 4112169, member: 5833"]The little guy looks like ivory to me. The lines/grain there are in the material depends on what part of the tusk it was cut from. The famous Schreger lines are only present in outer layers. The way it has those little cracks is very consistent with ivory; so is the color.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
