During that period so many of these  figures were  made finding another is near impossible !  Most were done as cottage businesses and painted by family members !  They got the blanks and just did the decorating/painting !! Values have really dropped lately !!

Just google "bone mosaic figurines"  you can see several made of bone !!  Most are camel bone but may be different types !!  Yours is much more intricate than others so should be worth a bit,,Not  enough to retire on but nothing to sneeze at either !!

In looking at a close up of the belly area  all the striations  are going in the same direction !  Looks more like bone to me than anything !   Its a nice mosaic and worth checking out !  I will see what I can find on it !!
