Thanks, Marloes. You are right about the large ring, of course, but what
about the small rings?

Yes, these are all parts of a baby's comforter/pacifier!
 
Found in Amsterdam dated to the 19th/20th century (with the rubber parts
which are missing here)
 
Best wishes,
Marloes

Dear all,

Here are some bone rings found in Jaffa, Israel by the Israel Antiquities
Authority in a context of - probably - the beginning of the 20th century. In
that time Palestine was already rather modernized, especially a port city
like Jaffa. The objects could have been imported, mainly the large ring.

Does anyone have any idea about the use of these rings, any parallels?

Etan
