<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 11353427, member: 8267&quot;]Based on the arcs below the figures, I suspect the white inlays are ivory. There are striations across both the wood and the inlays, perhaps left by a saw or sanding, that obscure the diagnostic features so I can&#039;t be sure. But the arcs would be consistent with slices from across the base of an elephant tusk. And I don&#039;t see any of the typical indications of bone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
