hopefully I won't be banned for this item

bought this today as l laughs every time I look at it.
Looks like a sniff bottle or a perfume bottle.
Anyone can guess what kind of bone it is and the age?

If you search "antique bone snuff bottle" on ETSY you will find a few!
=tags&search_query=opium]https://www.etsy.com/search?q=antique%20bone%20snuff%20bottle&order=most_relevant&view_type=gallery&ship_to=US&search_type=all&includes[0]=tags&search_query=opium

Betting Ox as well.  That was the most common.  However, if it was Tibetan it would most likely be Yak.

This blog is one that the person welcomes conversation and may be one that they would respond back?!

fancypants, have never seen a snuff bottle made from oosik!  Have seen lots of items made from walrus...even a cribbage board!!
