OK now you've got something here. I can clearly see the double criss-crossing grain on the base of the photo. The base also shows wear and age in the appropriate places. This one looks like ivory to me from what I can see in the photos.

Don`t think that is the base Tales !!  This statue is not round on bottom !!  That may be a different piece !!

Ah, I see what you are saying. The round disk is the only one that I can see the criss-crossing grain on.
