Hello Ariel, I would say the main reason for my acquiring a "broken thing" and investing my money and my time into giving it a semblance of authenticity again is that I would rather have an older example that needs a little work than a shiny new one made for the tourist market. I was also unaware that for someone be able to produce a small round rod shaped price of ivory or bone from a larger unworked piece required them to be born in a particular part of the world just to do an acceptable job of it.

Best,
Robert
