I'm guessing it's an eyeglass holder much like the ones pictured here:

Yep a tree face. I see them often on trees in front lawns.

If it were bone, it would have to be from a BIG animal since bone is hollow(and porous)

I'm with RJc on this one. Not that old. Phillips screws may have been invented in 1935, but were not that common till probably the 60's or 70's. Factories would have used them earlier, but if you think it is carved and not molded, home work shops didn't really use them for another 40 yrs. I began cabinet making and construction in the 70's and straight slot screws were most common. I hated them. Torx head screws were invented in 1967 and are just now becoming popular. If you showed me something made with them, I wouldn't guess it was 50 yrs old, Id say it was made in the last couple yrs. So, since most of us here were born before the 70's, ITS NOT THAT OLD. As far as what its made of, you tell us, your holding it!

Tree face for sure. What is with what seems to be the hostility? Chill. It's all good.

 

[shawninNY]

It appears some posters don't actually want to know the what it is part of the( What Is It ) Obviously you have found a completely unique 1 of a kind Colonial nose made of a massive section of bone or ivory possibly even tan jade! The master craftsman also invented those screws which where later stolen by mr Philips , we will ignore the zinc plated steel! Disregard the completely cohesive group of total strangers who have all identified your item as modern tree face nose made of plastic. I look forward to hearing about the million dollar auction and am honored to have witnessed such a treasure being discovered !

 

[bigfoot1]

I agree...we should ignore the zinc coated steel hardware.we should even ignore that when it was wiped with stain the rag missed the area adjacent to said steel which we dont see.I went ahead and researched ancient tree tribal statues just in case.I FOUND IT !!!!!This is the worlds only example of early man using resin casting techniques,steel alloying,and acrylic stain(no spreading like oil).....

.....there are folks waiting in line for miles just to get a fleeting glimpse...cool

 

[Red James Cash]

I think its a prosthetic nose from the paleo indian wars

 

[Doubter in MD]

It may be an early Native American example of Mr. Potato Head.

 

[shawninNY]

Maybe it's from the Sphinx , it shrank a lil because it dried out over the last few thousand years, is there a hooked x on it ? Maybe it's knights Templar or Minnesota Vikings Call Scott Wolter!
