This is a modern Chinese Tagua nut carving. Signature is not important

Hi there, thank you for your response Ernest; however, it is not a nut carving, it is very much so ivory, it features Schreger lines, or as my instructors at the GIA called them, engine turning. I am a trained and experienced gemologist, so fully know what is or is not ivory.

So, in this case, with the knowledge that it is absolutely ivory, all I lack is the knowledge of what the artist’s signature might say. Are you able to assist in this? Thank you.
