tooth or claw

Wayno found this the other day while taking down an old stone wall, any ideas,
Tooth, Claw or Tusk ?.

Val Beechey:
My first response on seeing those pics was Oh Wow ! I just love finding things like that. Did you see I found a Sharks tooth a couple of months back ?
My thoughts are that it’s a Brown Bears tooth and was worn as a charm against harm way back in the early Bronze Age.
There are some interesting, recent, articles on Brown Bears if you google them. Seems like they’re going to be re-introduced to the UK somewhere near Bristol. Some sort of Theme Park by the sound of it. Lord help the locals if one of them gets loose.
Great find  ;D

Phil Aberaman:
Well saved !

Good call Val, very similar to a few examples on google.

                           Interesting find; well spotted. I wonder why they countersunk the hole?

I assume its to prevent wear and tear of whatever  they used to hang it, Leather thong etc.
