[QUOTE="shamster, post: 10466571, member: 85821"]Just found this beauty for a relatively low price. Seller has no idea what it is. Googled it and have many similar pieces made of ivory, but most of them of lower quality than mine. Mine was really finely carved and the material has a jelly, almost semi-transparent texture. You do see parallel lines throughout, and it glows under UV light so I believe it’s natural and organic. it’s also signed at the back, but no luck researching the maker. I’m sure it came from Japan tho, the Japanese often work with ivory & white coral but not this time. What do you think? Please share your thoughts or just enjoy this beauty if you have no idea just like me :p [ATTACH=full]526501[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]526502[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]526503[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]526504[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]526505[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
