I hope you will not think it indiscrete of me to urge caution when dealing with these so-called "ancient" bone amulets as I know there are a lot of fakes around, as with so much Native American material. I would imagine these carved bone items are easy to reproduce. You might be interested to know there is a very useful book available on the subject of these items and how to detect fakes. (I tried looking for the details but can't find them at the moment. A google search will probably yield the requisite information).
