[QUOTE="Gianluca72, post: 411115, member: 8309"]Hello friends, I found this item in a lot that I bought at an auction house long and flat, the length is 26.5 cm. Intrigued by the martular material, I brought it from a relative who is a jeweler and told me that it is 100% ivory. He did a very strange test for me: he took a pin and put it on the flame of a lighter for a few seconds. Then he placed it on the ivory object and "sniffed" the point Do i have to worry for him ? :) But he, like me, does not know absolutely what it is, for what use it was created. To me it looks like a tool, maybe a shoehorn? But then I also think that it is too fragile to be. On the surface there were 3 different adhesive labels with numbers, they are the ones that use the auction houses to catalog the objects. I understand that this object has traveled from one auction house to another, up to the undersigned :) I proceeded to remove them, but I have to work better, as the glue below and some fragments of paper still can be seen on the surface, especially the red marker, which has passed the paper and "touched" the ivory. With a good cleaning, I will surely be able to remove everything. Returning to my main question, could you help me identify the object and possibly date it? The object is slightly curved at the ends I know it's hard, which is why I ask you :) Thank you all [URL='https://ibb.co/dS6pzK'][IMG]https://preview.ibb.co/f7PL6z/Dsc09479.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL='https://ibb.co/df2jYe'][IMG]https://preview.ibb.co/i46BDe/Dsc09480.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL='https://ibb.co/iUof6z'][IMG]https://preview.ibb.co/kdEL6z/Dsc09481.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL='https://ibb.co/ebMNKK'][IMG]https://preview.ibb.co/f9xweK/Dsc09484.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL='https://ibb.co/j3khKK'][IMG]https://preview.ibb.co/emODRz/DSC09485.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL='https://ibb.co/bwsjYe'][IMG]https://preview.ibb.co/m5RpzK/DSC09486.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL='https://ibb.co/mBuWDe'][IMG]https://preview.ibb.co/cfvGeK/DSC09488.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL='https://ibb.co/cXOPYe'][IMG]https://preview.ibb.co/eDhweK/DSC09489.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL='https://ibb.co/h5m06z'][IMG]https://preview.ibb.co/j8DPYe/DSC09490.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL='https://ibb.co/g4pbeK'][IMG]https://preview.ibb.co/ekvGeK/DSC09492.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL='https://ibb.co/eKsJte'][IMG]https://preview.ibb.co/cWrpzK/DSC09493.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL='https://ibb.co/fZUL6z'][IMG]https://preview.ibb.co/h75tRz/Dsc09495.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL='https://ibb.co/jiqGeK'][IMG]https://preview.ibb.co/dRUnmz/Dsc09496.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL='https://ibb.co/ng5hKK'][IMG]https://preview.ibb.co/i52jYe/DSC09498.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL='https://ibb.co/dqDrDe'][IMG]https://preview.ibb.co/kA2jYe/DSC09499.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL='https://ibb.co/dVLGeK'][IMG]https://preview.ibb.co/cMubeK/DSC09500.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL='https://ibb.co/fMgdte'][IMG]https://preview.ibb.co/htGBDe/DSC09501.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL='https://ibb.co/m9WBDe'][IMG]https://preview.ibb.co/d3PWDe/DSC09502.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/QUOTE]
