Hello Alberto!
Thank you for your patience and for the information.
This item, is a beautiful hand-carved Chinese mammoth ivory figure of an immortal, from probably mid 10th century. Ivory is a hard, creamy-white material that forms the teeth of some mammals such as elephants, mammoths, walruses, hippos, and killer whales. Elephant tusks are mostly made up of dentine - the same material that makes up human teeth.
Pristine condition with no visible damage.
