19th century Japanese or other Buddhist “pocket” shrine ( 3"H x 2.25"W x 1"D ) - 80g. This type of piece is typically carved of wood and is usually from Japan, though this one is so unusual that it could be from another Buddhist country. I believe it is carved from bone. It looks to have good age based on the patina and the wear. Period take a look at the photos for the condition and the details. The quality of the carving is surprisingly good. (3"H x 2.25"W x 1"D ) - 90g.
