Hi Lynne,

Red Mountain would know much more about these than I do, but I don't think I've seen these from the Ordos culture. I'd associate them much more with Afghanistan/Bactria in the first millennium BCE and possibly earlier. But given the enormous distances that nomadic folk travelled, these two cultures may actually have been in fairly close trading contact.

Attached is a Bactrian bone tiger.

Cheers,

Will
