Carved marble artifact?

I can`t tell from the picture (old eyes), but is it a tube or is it solid?

Yes sir, it is solid. We were hoping for a pipe stem, but there is no hole.

Are you sure that is marble? Could it be ivory?
Could of been a bottle cap. They where glass at one time. Is it tapered a little bit.
At first glance I was thinking maybe a late Archaic or Woodland tubular pipe. Being solid rules that out.
Hold it in good light and see if it has a crosshatch grain. If it does then it is ivory.

All great ideas. Definitely stone - just peeked at it under a dissecting microscope.

Old doll leg, you find them all the time around old houses
I believe we have a winner.
The dolls head & shoulders, forearms, and lower legs were china the rest was fabric. the fabric was cinched around the groove in the top of the leg.
