<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 11704914, member: 8267&quot;]Antler can be distinguished from a typical long bone by the presence of the spongy interior structure throughout the length of the antler. There is no medullary cavity - the hollow channel containing marrow - in antler. While spongy bone does occur at the ends of long bones, I do not see any evidence of a medullary cavity in your carving.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]547517[/ATTACH]&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]547518[/ATTACH] </p><p>elk antler&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; human long bone</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The overall shape of your carving fits the shape of the antlers of the Sambar deer, native to Borneo.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]547516[/ATTACH] </p><p><a href="https://www.sambardeer.com/training-course/reviews" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.sambardeer.com/training-course/reviews" rel="nofollow">https://www.sambardeer.com/training-course/reviews</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>There is only one deer species that is native to Africa - the Barbary Stag - which occurs in the mountainous areas of Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. In addition to being a much less common material in sub-Saharan artifacts, the structure of the Barbary stag&#039;s antlers is a less likely fit to the shape of your carving.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]547519[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
