Get a straight pin and heat the tip up and touch it to the piece. If it smells like burning hair, it might be ivory. If plastic you'll know it by the smell. Gary
Looks like molded plastic to me. I see no evidence of grain which elephant ivory has or "tapioca" which walrus ivory always shows. Heated pin trick will make no smell if ivory and will not penetrate at all. A hot pin in plastic will penetrate and stink. Like AARC says, tourist piece.
Put it on a stick over a campfire with a few hot dogs tea bag it slowly into the flame post the results. Kiddin I thought ivory was valuable hmm try the pin thing or take it to a proffesional to see it is pretty cool looking though
Cairo souvenir, often sold as 'paperweights' or just as 'decorative'. If you visit Egypt you'll find them on sale at markets and in tourist shops everywhere. In their thousands. In every conceivable design, size and material. The ones that look like ivory are usually resin cast and imported from China! I wouldn't attach any authenticity to what are meant to look like 'file marks' at the apex or the heavily applied 'patina' around the figures. A quick look with a loupe will soon tell you if it's cast or carved. They've been selling souvenirs like that for about 100 years. The early ones are tastefully hand-carved, might well be ivory and were attempted to be passed off as 'relics' or antiquities. That that one looks to be a stylistically gaudy modern fantasy to the extent it wouldn't fool anyone (and wasn't really intended to).
