I think you made the right choice! I told my family about the Malleefowl and how there are crossing signs since they like to walk rather than fly! To us, Australia has the most unusual animals!
I don't know where it came from before it came from my grandmother's things. The Stanhope bone crosses were mass produced in the 1860. She was born in 1891, so it could have been hers. Or an older relative.
I was going to do a religious cross as well then the thought of the Mallee Fowl crossing came to mind

DeleteA bone cross. Not something you see every day.

Bone was popular as a faux ivory look. It's not unusually to find antique crosses, and crucifixes of bone.
DeleteInteresting piece.
