African? bone carving
« on: January 29, 2008, 10:37:29 PM »
Gosh, thats weird! I'm not sure what kind of bone it is. I'm not sure I want to know.  :24:

It's got a little man carved in the centre. I'm going to wash my hands now.

Just found this on ebay... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150672374188#ht_7660wt_952

It's similar and definitely some kind of bone. Might be worth more than the 50p i paid for it?   :x-fingers:

I believe the term you are looking for is bone marrow (where blood cells are created)

That $499.99 price tag it sold for can't be right surely?  :thd:
