Anyone know what this might be worth?
It's real bone, looks like a totem pole, there are no artist markings as far as I can see.

The bone seems to flare out a bit on both ends.

What do you think?

low quality, I'd say you might get 10 bucks.
That is just a guess. If you could come up with more information, it might go up a little.

the carvings look more native American.

No clue as to value but I do not think the value is very high as bone is being discouraged overall.
