First of all, the actual name you are looking for is "A. Santini," for Antelma Santini (1896- ??). She is sometimes identified as "Antelema Santini," although this spelling is incorrect. Values can vary widely, depending on what it is you actually have. An original Antelma Santini sculpture would be quite rare, and as such, if in good condition, would be expected to auction quite well. The last time an original sold at auction was fairly long ago, back in 1987. This was a sculpture of Pauline Borghese, listed through Christie's, and even then it closed at a very nice $4500. In today's marketplace, which remains fairly flat, one might still expect the amount for a similar sculpture to at least double that price. If you believe you have a contemporary piece, actually made by the artist's own hand, then you really need to get a serious, in-person appraisal.
If, instead, you believe you have a modern reproduction (these are usually comparatively small, next to the larger originals), which can be anything from a highly decorous sculpture made of good, quality ivory, alabaster, or Carrera marble, to inexpensive pieces made from lesser grade, resin materials, auction prices would vary. One might expect as much as $500 for the better modern pieces, and less than $50 for the lesser produced ones. This is a quick showing of the lesser A. Santini sculptures currently available at retail prices online (these are the ones that would auction for the aforementioned "lesser" values):

What is ivory?
Ivory is a material which is harvested from animal teeth, bones, or tusks, often used in carvings or embellishments. While popular up through the 19th century, the ivory trade has caused many species of animals to go extinct or become critically endangered, and therefore is heavily restricted. Most countries have made it illegal to sell, trade, purchase, or create products made from ivory.
Where can you sell carved ivory?
The best idea is to have the piece appraised. Auction estimates, Retail and Insurance values will all be different but the appraiser can point you in the right direction.
How do you identify ivory?
Plastic and resins are usually smoother than real ivory. Looking at bone under magnification you will see a lot of pitting something that real ivory will not have. The hot pin test can help you determine the difference between plastic, synthetic, bone and ivory. Its best to perform this test on the bottom of the object that is not visible as it may cause damage to plastic objects. Heat a needle until it is extremely hot than touch the needle against the object you are testing. A hot needle can not penetrate real ivory like it will a plastic or resin. When you touch bone with a hot needle smell the area that you touched. It should have a very unique smell like burning hair. When you touch ivory with a hot needle you will smell something more like a burning teeth dentist office type smell. Passing this test is a pretty good indication that you have real ivory.
