Very large Ivory
male and female Chines Emperor and Empress figurines.
Over 17" tall
each. Rare, legal, antique mammoth size Ivory Art.
After some research and testing, I believe these figures
are mold cast figurines made from a ground Ivory and resin mixture. I am
not an expert in this field by any means and I have received a lot of
feedback on these pieces from both eBay buyers on a previous listing and
from other websites where I have listed the figurines for evaluation. If you
expect these figurines to be carved Ivory, I do not belive they are, and please
do not bid if you think they are. I make absolutely no representations
as to their actual composition nor their manufacture. The Pictures are high
resolution and speak for themselves. No Returns at all!
