Jean;
I don't know what that black dots are... could well be markings from pendokok /selut as you suggested.
Anthony;
I did scrape from the inside of the hole and the powder smelt just like ivory. But did not try to burn it. The lines looked very much like the real thing if compared to the ones of imitation ivory that I saw on the internet but I am not sure as I have no experience in this .
David;
Like you I'm against the use of 'new' ivory. I hope this one is not that new (if it is real ivory).
