Any ideas on the age/ period of this netsuke? Any is it Ivory or bone
Dimensions
Width3.2 cm Depth 2.3 cm Height 3.3 cm
Is it Meiji period(1868-1912)?
Also, I've researched and thought it was ivory as I found concentric lines meaning sperm whale tooth or hippopotamus (see photos) but then I also see what look like blood vessels black marks (Haversian) and they have the concentric lamellae.
Any idea of value.
Any input much appreciated.
