Bidspirit auction | 5-Piece Carved Bovine Bone Jewelry
5-Piece Carved Bovine Bone Jewelry - A five-piece collection of hand-carved bovine bone jewelry featuring intricate openwork floral and geometric motifs. The material exhibits characteristic natural pitting and canaliculi, and lacks the Schreger lines found in elephant ivory. The collection comprises two necklaces and three bracelets. The first necklace features a central fan-shaped pendant with openwork carving depicting flowers and leaves, suspended from a strand of round beads interspersed with two elongated spiral-fluted beads. The second necklace is a graduated strand featuring small round terminal beads and larger, spherical center beads with deeply carved floral scroll openwork. The three panel-style bracelets are composed of rectangular carved links; one bracelet features four panels with a central floral motif and vertically textured borders, while the other two bracelets consist of five panels each with varying floral and scrolled openwork designs. The panels are joined by internal stringing. No maker marks, signatures, hallmarks, or country-of-origin labels are visible on any of the pieces.
