      Is the last item hollow?

      Hello! Yes it is hollow! Thanks Don

      These came from the state of Washington

      There are so many possibilities for what the small horns came from. Someone in taxidermy might know.

      These appear to be Mexican souvenir items, or parts thereof. The horn items, especially, are commonly found in Mexican shops. The small black item looks like a hoof (sheep or goat, commonly). They're used as rattles and as "embellishment" on souvenir replicas of tribal arts. The necklace looks like a crafts piece from the '60's/'70's hippie era.

      Thanks! The hippie item is either bone or ivory I think, it has intricate carving on it, these items came from State of Washington, and auctions do bundle things, especially charity auctions. Bird is special as is well up close it is made very well! Thanks again!
