    Hello,

    These I think foo dogs look like ivory? I did not measure the height of them but probably 4-5 inches high. Look in perfect condition. Any comments would be helpful, thank you in advance? Foo dogs.jpg Foo bottom.jpg Foo back.jpg

    Material looks like resin, not ivory. A very close picture of the back of one of the heads (where the surface appears very smooth) might change that opinion if growth lines can be seen.

    Burst resin bubbles and shading tell me it's resin.

    Definitely resin. But @Smerc59 is right, they look like ivory. They're supposed to.
