    It looks very interesting. I wish we could guess how old it is.

    Ken Dorney Yea, I'm Cool That Way...

    The first item appears to be Egyptian alabaster but it shows modern machine marks on the rim. Looks like a fake coin obviously glued in (this is very common with genuine ancient rings, but with modern gems set in and glued. They are usually pretty obvious).

    The second item appears to be ivory (and could be I suppose) but the artwork is pure fantasy. Neither item is old.

    i asked my people (native people of course not the Arabs tribes ) about that women face they told me they calling her (head of Libya) from Kyrene (cyrinica) civilization but as you said about the glued i guess you are right about it because they said about using that small item for saving red mercury for black magic
