Wow, thanks so much!  I think the marking looks more like a wish bone?

P.S.  I just found this on the internet.  When comparing it to our piece, it looks like a replica.  Doesn't have the same marking on the bottom and doesn't have the same fine detail.

I would like to find out some information regarding this figurine.  It has been in our family for about 60 years.  My grandmother's friend purchased it for her at an auction house in Delray Beach, Florida in 1951 or 1952.  We hired an appraiser to learn more but she was unable to help us.  I have looked on the internet to see if I could get any information on the marking but was unable to find anything.  As you can see it's a gorgeous piece with exquisite detail.  Hope someone can help.  Thanks!
