    Caption I found said it was wood, so I presumed they were correct, and the pair being worn in this photo was wood.

    In addition to wood, they’re also commonly made out of bone or walrus ivory. I posted a nice pair on HistoryArtifacts too

      Heard, I would presume your caption correct too with that provenance.

      I wonder if wood ones would be considered “more valuable” somehow, though I think ivory or bone would be more comfortable and “aesthetically pleasing”
