    An EBay buy, sold for carved wood figurine....

    You can see a trace of seam on the side, details are messy, and material give a "soft" feeling even from the pics! Of course, no caracteristic ivory lines...

    The famous RHPP (red hot pin poke) test, applied near the lower hole, gave the expected result:
    Chemical smelling and melting :-D

    It is not new, but vintage.

    Thanks for viewing, please compare to my two other netzuke posts ;-)

      Yes Alan, the auction pics weren't so clear, from them it could have been boxwood :-)
