Seller says it is a 'tooth' but he doesn't know what kind.
Seller says it is a Sumerian pattern (presumably from the carved face). Though in all honesty he spelled it "Somerian"
Seller says it is circa 1750.
Seller says is is with silver stem.

I know it is a relist, but perhaps someone here has been waiting his entire life for this!
Of course I could be entirely wrong and apologize to the seller for my lack of trust!

There's a red-flag posting for authenticity if I ever saw one. :lol: "Oh it's not real? I said I didn't know...no returns..." Heh.

If it is real, I'd say whale tooth. Something of the not-krill-eating variety. *shrug*

It is kind of cool looking, in a way.
