This hand-carved implement is crafted from ox bone in a curved, tapered tusk form. The piece is characterized by a central decorative collar featuring two parallel incised rings with faint vertical hatching between them, effectively dividing the object into two segments. The implement tapers from a flat-cut, elliptical base to a blunt, rounded point. The base reveals a porous, cancellous internal structure characteristic of bovine bone. The surface displays a honey-colored patina with scattered dark brown spotting, shallow pits, and minor surface abrasions. Approximately 4.5 inches in length.
