<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 1230824, member: 55&quot;]Just another amusing note; this could as well be in the &quot;Laughable Eboo listings&quot; thread.&nbsp; I haven&#039;t found the specific hairpin from OPs first post; but I did find this from one of the ebay sellers who consistently sells imports as real.&nbsp; Most of the import pendant designs can also be found on the hairpins; commonly turtles, fish, whale tails; along with actual traditional Indonesian designs….and Eskimo ones.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; This pendant is oddly like OPs hairpin; but note the description &quot;Vintage Carved Bovine Inuit Eskimo Shaman Fetish Effigy Totem Pendant&quot;: <a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Carved-Bovine-Inuit-Eskimo-Shaman-Fetish-Effigy-Totem-Pendant-4/233387579908?hash=item3656fbda04:g:IosAAOSwXzBdvK0M" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Carved-Bovine-Inuit-Eskimo-Shaman-Fetish-Effigy-Totem-Pendant-4/233387579908?hash=item3656fbda04:g:IosAAOSwXzBdvK0M" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Carved-Bovine-Inuit-Eskimo-Shaman-Fetish-Effigy-Totem-Pendant-4/233387579908?hash=item3656fbda04:g:IosAAOSwXzBdvK0M</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Of course it isn&#039;t any of those things.....but one clue is the word &quot;bovine.&quot; Imagine one were to find a collection of 60 or 100 little carvings, presumably bone....how would one know they were bovine?&nbsp; Surprise; the online catalogs of beading importers generally use the word bovine in the descriptions of bone items, mentioning Indonesian or Chinese cow or water buffalo bone; but I figure that any listing that mentions bovine bone is likely not real Eskimo, Inuit, vintage, Shaman&#039;s...…</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]215315[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
