Ah, I missed that David .

I see what may be a casting bubble in the third picture down in post 15; look at the crown, right hand side .

There seems to be a certain translucency to the material; the darker, more porous areas would indicate bone or horn .

A puzzler .

Njo, what did the hot pin test smell like ?
