    Looking at this online and I believe it to be an antique bone bangle. Can anyone help confirm? Thanks!!

    "Ox bone" maybe. Looks like the kind of "bone" we here in CT aren't allowed to sell.

    Are you able to get some closer photos of the grain?

    Don’t know if this helps? Photos of some ivory circles I have. The criss cross grain is very clear here.

    A piece of wood or bamboo that was bent this shape imo, you can see where the ends join. The Chinese make very nice bentwood and bent-bamboo bangles.

    If it is what it looks like, bentwood or bamboo, it would only be worth a few $$ anyway.
