How big is this piece ??  I am not sure its either one !! What does it feel like ??  Weight ?? Is it heavy for the size ??  Looks more like a stone of some type !!

Well, at least the guy told the truth !! Faux ivory,, cow bone !!  And I wouldn`t argue about that fact !!  As a Chinese export piece there would have been more than one made so I think you did well not to bid !!  I personally thought the item was less than quality !!
