Bone necklace ?

Had a friend give me this along with some other pieces. I have a pretty good idea it’s bone ? Any thoughts are appreciated.

 

Certainly bone/antler or some sort of plastic, but definitely not ivory. Kind of looks like capillary holes on the back but I'm not sure if that is damage towards the bottom?

 

I'd think bone. Hard to identify the country of origin. There is a world-wide industry supplying bone beads to the bead-crafter's market, so in the craft stores one can find bone beads made in Indonesia, imitating shapes from Ethiopia, or with Eskimo, Samoan, Egyptian or Maori themes; beads from Thailand with Tibetan themes...and so on and on.
Thus a genuine ethnic necklace from Ethiopia ends up looking almost like one assembled by a crafter in the US from imported materials.

 

Okay thanks guys. I thought the beads were most likely mass produced.. I think the mark On the bottowas there when made speaking about ivory, how do these look to you guys as far as being real ?

 

I had to re glue the top point on the tower and when I took that off it definitely had schreger lines

 

I’ve been convincing myself they are real but there’s always that chance they aren’t!

 

There are definite schreger lines underneath each bell!

 

Will do Thank you
