A Chinese Genuine Ivory Hand Craved Oval Ornament on Stand
A beautiful hand carved elephant ivory oval ornament depicting a typical Chinese scene of horseman, pagodas, people, tree and boats. The vase is typically carved from a section of an elephant tooth. The carved piece is attached to the black wooden base. The vase and stand are both in immaculate condition. This item was inspected using a jewellers loupe and the Schreger diamond patterns identifies this item as genuine ivory. The diamond pattern can be clearly seen through the jewelers loupe. Please refer to the last picture
"Genuine ivory is identified by Schreger Lines — a unique pattern of crosshatched diamond shapes that some collectors refer to as “stacked chevrons.” If you see Schreger Lines, this is a practically sure indication of true ivory from either an elephant or a mastodon (i.e., a prehistoric mammoth). Bone does not have this pattern, nor does any other kind of tooth or tusk from animals either alive or extinct." Copied from the Internet
