Accurate Description of Item
One Ivory Resin Figure of a Scholar
Appraiser Remarks
Based on the country of origin markings your figurine is quite modern as these things go and probably purchased new post 1949 when China split into two factions. Pieces like this were made for the Export market in porcelain, ivory and ivory resin, they need a physical appraisal to determine the matyerial they are constructed of. Based on what I can see in the images this one is probably ivory resin, a mixture of ground ivory and plastic resin.
