    Hi there! I’m hoping someone can tell me the material that this is made of. It has a marbled effect and it looks very old and it’s very heavy. Thank you! On a sidenote if you think I should’ve posted this to another category enlighten me, I’m new here. TY!

    I think I can see resin holes and blobs. Can we see the base please?
    There’s been another recent thread about a elephant tusk, if you have a read you will see the same characteristics in your piece. Resin is very easy to make look like other materials, metals, stone etc.
    Welcome btw!

    Hi Chris! Whenever you load images to post, JUST BEFORE you hit "POST", click on the VERY TOP IMAGE that says "INSERT EVERY IMAGE AS A 'FULL IMAGE"....that way they ALL show up FULL SIZE....much easier for ALL to see!! Thanks!!!:):)

    Definitely looks like an artificial composition - plastic/resin - mass produced by casting in a mold.
    This is a fine category to post a miscellaneous item such as this.
    Oh - and Welcome!
