    Hi. I have these bangles which are made from bone. They look old and worn. Think they are African tribal? I was planning to sell them but need to a bit more about them so I can describe them on eBay. Thank you

    Ow are they ivory. That's not so good news I guess. I'm not allowed to sell ivory here in the UK.

    I can see what you mean. I looked up how to research if something is ivory. I needed to look for crosshatch patterns, and all three of them have these patterns. So should be ivory than.

    That's a nice find. Was it all a mixed lot from different tribal or did they state which area it's from? Thx

    I could do that. But clueless on how mich to ask. That's why I wanted to list it in a 0.99p auction and let them fight for it.

    Those couldn't be sold where I live; they're not old enough and even the old stuff needs documentation up to the eyeballs.
