This little San Pan has been in my family about 70-75 yrs. It is 6 inches long and about 2 inches wide. It has 2 very, very thin oars which have tiny holes in which copper wire was used to attach them to the boat,there is also a post that we think held a man, none of us (my siblings)ever remember seeing a man.
the bone has many different colours and when you turn it over it looks like where it was sawed there are rings like a tree trunk but the are very fine.
What kind of bone do you think this was made of and any ideas of the value in today’s market?

I’ll figure it out tomorrow![/quote]
