Even though I’m not a fan of modern hoax theories Wink , and after analyzing a lot of statistics I’m actually certain that the text isn’t a hoax, I’ll admit this much: It is suspicious!

Especially since: The Baroque Medici ivory pieces were housed in the Bargello until 1924 but were then moved to the Palazzo Pitti.

But: "If, on the one hand, the feet with masks are still a reference to the goldsmith's art of the previous century, on the other hand, the eccentric shapes of the precious container and the decorative exuberance, appear to be in line with the stylistic features of Baroque art."
