[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 338868, member: 2844"]Absolutely gorgeous, raver. Always so nice to find out more about an item, isn't it? Yes, ivory can crack, especially when it ages. Your miniature could be ivory, why don't you post a photo? Here are two very cracked Indonesian ivory keris hilts: [ATTACH=full]113764[/ATTACH] The one on the left is 17th-18th century from Central Madura, the one on the right 16th-17th century from West Madura. The last one has a red gold hilt cup which can't be removed, but you can see the cracks just above the cup.[/QUOTE]
