Dear Sir,

The attached photo is of an artifact which belonged to my grandfather - it has stones/mother of pearl animals set into ivory. The flaps as you can see lift up. We have always guessed that it is some sort of scoring mechanism for a game.
Would somebody be able to identify the piece?

It is about 10cm long and 4 cm wide.
With thanks
