I can't tell you if it is ivory, bone or a very clever resin. It looks like bone to me and hand carved. Very detailed and nicely worked. It has a different scene on front and back, one side a man carrying a basket at the end of a pole with perhaps fish in it and the other side a woman carrying a pole with a basket. There are trees with hanging foliage, and what look like mountains ion the background. The spoon is intact and the metal casing is possible brass. The metal is also decorated with two animal or demon heads and there are settings for many stones throughout. There are 4 stones missing but it actually looks good. This piece looks old but I cannot confirm that. The only mark is a very small hard to find word: China. Measure 4 1/4" long x 2" wide.�
A wonderful rare collectors item. Suitable for a display case.�
