Dear experts !

So, given:

Annunciation
Icon, Kholmogory bone carving ( mammoth tusk ? )
43 * 34 Cm. without Kyoto

Spectrograph confirmed the 19th century.

Very interesting and serious thing, a gift from the Fund for governors)

Tell me, what is this thing , and what estimate her.

Sincerely,

And how is it confirmed?
Lights blinked: "The composition of bone is made up in the 19th century"?
:D

I originally wanted to write "according to owners', is now added) Yes, yes, flashing lights))))

Spectrograph determines age of the material, rather than the manufacture of a product.
Ie - the age of the bones.

Even just interested, we should talk to the study, to catch up a blizzard of spectrograph?

Forgot about the spectrograph showed some fellow owners .... What more can objective to say about it?

Objectively, it is entirely possible that this thread holmlgorskaya 19th century

but the age of the icon should be specified,

Cut with Titley - usually tserk.slav . language. Here , on the contrary , the letters have not lost - and sort of unnecessary. Of unknown origin in the right side , the letters " I" and the letter " yat" .
