I recently acquired this little set of what I believe to be Chinese carved ivory Mu Wang horses. Any info as to age or if they are really ivory would be much appreciated! Cheers

Who would paint ivory ?
Beautiful horse figures, love the natural poses
Just a thought...are they wooden? I' only saying so because one has a look of woode patterns in it? They are cool though!
Hi blunderbuss, don’t think they are painted really, maybe highlighted in areas for detail. Cheers
Hi Lauren, pretty sure they’re not wooden, they have a weight and a density to them that suggests ivory, I thought they might be bone initially but again, they’re too dense. Cheers
Horn then?.....Or bone?
