<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 4392523, member: 5833&quot;]Thanks for giving it a try.&nbsp; If I had it in hand, I would be checking the line where the figure meets the ground along the edge with a loupe.&nbsp; I&#039;d look at it from both sides with a strong light behind.&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure what color the background layer is. Even with direct examination, I can&#039;t tell black onyx from black glass.&nbsp; Photos provided are not adequate to make a determination about the true nature of the piece.&nbsp; It&#039;s possible it would look very different if it were cleaned up.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=17467]@Simona Buhus[/USER] Note to friend:&nbsp; If you decide to clean, do not soak for any length of time unless it is determined to be all one piece.&nbsp; If it is assembled it could come apart.&nbsp; I find toothpaste &amp; soft toothbrush a good method for cleaning things that can get wet a little but can&#039;t be soaked.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
