Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knew much about the piece below, and maybe what it's worth.

Much Thanks in advance  :)

Got me stumped .

Sure looks more like a cast-wax item than a carved one , from what I can see @ 400X your image .

What do you know about this item , mcshane1990 ?

I'm almost wondering if this is a mold-form , for the lost-wax method of casting .... ?
