I speculate that the creatures on this bracelet represent Aligators, wher the Ivory bracelts I posted are Alligators.
"One of the differences that you can see is the shape of the head. Alligators have a broader, more rounded snout while crocodiles have a narrower, more pointed snout. If you look at the side of a crocodile's mouth, you'll notice the fourth tooth on the bottom jaw sticks outside of the top jaw and into a groove. The upper and lower teeth of a crocodile stick outside the jaws while the bottom teeth of the alligator fit into sockets in the upper jaw." Gatorland Website

Here is a closeup of this bracelet. The crosshatching is visible here too.
