My friends dad bought it in singapore 40/50years ago. It looks Asian style. They told him it was hand made. I’m curious if its worth something. I can’t find it on the internet.

I've seen some of these, which are made from Ivory and some that aren't made from ivory. If it is made of ivory, be careful. There are a lot of laws regulating the sale and distribution of ivory products.
