      Hi George! Look up Schreger lines for detecting ivory, invaluable info! As for the mark, we will wait for the experts :) a Nice statue!

      By the shape it looks like a tusk !! Marine or elephant , ivory or resin i would've thought :-)
      Lovely item , good luck hope its ivory ;-)

      After looking closely I found a few broken pieces on it and a crack that had been glued.. It doesn't appear to be ivory. Im thinking alabaster or something similar.. the key may be in the signature on the bottom
