What the fork?

In one of my late mother's closets was some inexplicable scrimshaw: a spoon and fork engraved in a curious script. I've been meaning to take them to the Peabody Essex for years, to see if the language and date can be identified. Any paleographers in the crowd?













...and the spoon ran away with the fish.

Wait—could this be elephant ivory?
