Hello, and thank you. I have a couple of bone/ivory statues, and I have questions about both of them. My dad brought them back from the Far East after the war, in 1948.
First, the small one (3 1/4″ tall). It has a hole in the bottom, and appears to be hollow inside. Why is that? Does that mean this is a fake, or an imitation?
Any information at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks. /Brian

Those are not saw marks. Saw marks do not extend uninterrupted into depressions.
These look like Schreger lines, yes?
Bone has small dots, usually black, where the capillaries were.
What is your expertise, please?
