Tagua nut, from a type of palm tree. Can be carved as an ivory substitute. These were from iBOB days, I think. I worked in a shop that was a San Francisco Bridgestone dealer and as iBOB stuff became available we bought a couple of these jerseys. I remember that there was a spare, but uncarved, nut floating around in the plastic bag.
