The best one in my opinion, very old, the pesi comes through in the back. A material I don't know, look like ivory but in a colour and texture I never have seen. You see the kissing lips?

One from which remains only a fragment made from deer horn. But you still can see the high level of carving.

The last one, again animal tooth, very figural with nice patina.
Enjoy!! And I hope to see yours, maybe it become a very interesting viewing thread!

I simple don't know. I have read somewhere that it shall represent the "tree of life" but I would take this very, very carefully.
