dragon ivory

And you're sure it ivory?

[BAGIRA]

The fact that he is covered in ivory (in copper) no questions. One piece away and I glued it. Of course I am not an expert, but ivory is difficult to confuse. So where can I find information on such work and its cost? Preferably on the internet. Best regards.

But as this-"covered with ivory?
Composition of copper and coated "plates of ivory?
For example, I did not understand the technique of manufacture.

Of course I am not an expert, but ivory is difficult to confuse.

 There are different materials imitating ivory: "vegetable ivory", obtained from the seeds of palm fitelefas, bones, antlers, some types of wood, etc.

Cyril, hello! I like to work with you. I love when a dispute born truth. Composition of copper and coated "plates of ivory. Looks like it. As for copper can not verify the technology and do not know. Trusted seller, who in the sale at auction written production:

Original or Reproduction: Original Material: Brass

Cyril, see the picture please. At the touch, the gravity of the piece, and when in the 80's involved in shooting netske to museums and bought modern in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, yet I think I'm not mistaken. Look, please, what do you think? Maiga.
