This is a Wonderful Vintage Carved Bow Tusk fetish Religious Artifact from Thailand.
Hunters from ancient times throughout Asia have given special significance to the animals they hunted by using a piece of bone from the animal.
The bone was usually carved into shapes such as a tiger or a phallic shape, almost anything that represents power and strength. Often these pieces were carved with symbolic writing and blessed or consecrated by a monk who practices this form of magic.
A talisman such as this would have been used as a charm by Buddhists and Hindus to expel bad spirits and to bring good luck.
