I have a porcelain virgin Mary statue where she has on a white dress and a blue robe.  She is kneeling down and praying.  It says Italy on the bottom and the statue is about 12" high.  Does anyone know anything about this piece?

Thanks,
Kay

Thanks and it sure looks similar to me too.  I am thinking it is possibly buffalo horn instead of the rhinoceros.

Much appreciated!

Could someone help me identify this piece I found that appears possibly to be a Chinese Buddha head made from Rhinoceros Horn mounted into a carved piece of wood.

Thanks,
Kay
