Antique Italian

Ivory powder sculputure?
I found this very nice sculpture, small, in an antique place in Peru. The man said it was Italian and that it was made out of ivory powder... pretty much poured in a mold to create the sculpture. Does that have any value? I am against harvesting animal parts but I really liked the sculpture, and besides it was old...not sure if that justifies it. It had a very nice white finish, velvety look and very soft to the touch. Does it sound like anything worth it to buy? I am hoping to reach someone who knows about antiques who can tell me more about how much something like that is worth. My common sense tell me that a piece carved straight from the ivory has more value rather than something that has been turned into powder and then mixed with water and who knows what else and then poured into a mold. But I am not expert, so I hope you can tell me more about this kind of item. The sculputure was very delicate and it was about 12x12x7 inches.
Ivory Powder would not be an antique. So just don't overpay for it. If you like it, great, buy it, but NOT as an investment antique. The binder in an ivory powder statue is likely a modern resin.
