My father is an avid carver of bone items. He makes he tiniest of things from bone. This looks similar to what he does, I wonder if it is a type or style similar to schrimschaw?

Glad I came back to check on the updates. Love the pics of the last bunch of buttons. There are a few I wish I had in my collection.

It could be a stamped design like the old seals to close letters with wax? Maybe?
