<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Taupou, post: 4004764, member: 45&quot;]I agree, it definitely doesn&#039;t look like any Native American, Inuit, or NW coast art I&#039;ve ever seen.&nbsp; Nor is it walrus ivory.</p><p><br /></p><p>A few things bother me, that haven&#039;t been mentioned. First, is it possibly not a single slice of whatever material it is made from, or could it be two thin slices?&nbsp; The appearance of the front and back doesn&#039;t seem to match up. The cracks don&#039;t, nor does the look of the center of the front of the pendant look anything like the back.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Secondly, though, is there possibly a reason we&#039;re not seeing the red stone (?) in the center of the bail?&nbsp; What material is it?&nbsp; Coral?&nbsp; Jasper? Glass? That might be important.</p><p><br /></p><p>And finally, the &quot;silver&quot; work is rather crude, to say the least.&nbsp; And do we even know if it is actually silver?</p><p><br /></p><p>The red in the center of the bail, combined with the way the silver is made, are similar to some pendants I&#039;ve seen from Tibet or Nepal.&nbsp; Would that be a possibility?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
