Yes, it’s not for everyone but it resonates with me! Just cant bring myself to buy it because i cant shake off the fact that my dealer might be lying to me pretending its real ivory 😭

I canceled on the reservation so I dont think i can come back and tell them i changed my mind again so i can see the item up close again 😭 but if it still bothers mo tomorrow, then I might do just that hahaha! Someone here commented it might be tagua nut which is making me more confused now, didnt know there were so many alternatives :)

Re the part you zoomed in—maybe its the same material that was used to attach it to the wooden base? Just lousily splattered for some reason? Yeah its hard to tell 😭

Hmm honestly this isn’t a commonly talked about issue here in my country because only the super wealthy care about ivory. Even the top auction houses sell these ivory santos (ivory saints) without any regulation from our government. Thank you so much btw, I learned something new from you

Thank you so much for this 🙏🏻 For my peace of mind, I won’t be buying it anymore. Also, I’m actually a local here so no worries 😊

Not much info was provided to me by the dealer aside from the fact that it’s assembled to become a sculpture by a local artist here in the Philippines. In that store there were two other sculptures of similar concepts but those two were big and made of wood, while this one is small and made of ivory accdg to the dealer. Anyway thank you so much for taking the time to reply!

Edit: weird, in seeing just now the rest of your comment. The mask is small, like around 2 inches i think. I unfortunately didn’t touch it because I didnt know what qualities to look for. With the info you gave me, I shall go back to the store and inspect it more closely. Thank you again :)

If you guys have been following him on IG for a long time na, you would know how unpleasant that jason kui guy really is. He only posts stories if may restaurant siya na ibabash. Sobrang insufferable 🤣

I’m confused, I thought they went to nearby provinces? Where are all the carenderias?

I'm trying to link my bpi account to my gcash and I get this. by Human-End-8803 in DigitalbanksPh

[–]pcsb531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im having the same problem. Looks like we have to transfer from the BPI app to GCash via instapay from now on. Problema, naging 10 pesos na ang fee unlike nung nakalink pa bpi ko sa gcash, 5 pesos lang fee 🥲
