as stated in title, it's bone ... I wouldn't venture a guess as to what kind, as I don't know. I do know that many times, bone beads/carved bone items come from water buffalo or other [already] deceased animals. Animals are NOT intentionally killed for the making of these and other carved items, beads, etc.
