Like the unique silver work bands.

I agree...the silverwork is something unusual...well done, but quite plain...not like what you normally see in the north...but certainly doesn't rule it out. Not unlikely that a southern piece could be carried north, but probably it is a local northern piece with the down curved handle just making use of the curve of the antler/ ivory.
