Help please identifying this veneer species

Howdy- Need your help identifying the species of veneer on the top of my buffet. It was likely built in the thirties, Just had stripped and am now in the process of refinishing.. I’ve been told either rosewood or Ebony. The rest of the buffet is walnut. Thanks!

Is there any way you can attach some pictures of the veneer?
Another possibility may be to try one of the following:

Hopefully one of these might help.

The top looks like zebra wood

Just from the period of the piece and the colors of the wood, my guess would be Macassar ebony.
Apology
I must apologize to you Flobey. I initially answered this from my work computer and it did not show that you had in fact posted pictures. In fact, it still doesn't. Once I looked at this from my home computer, I can easily see that you had.
Once again, sorry about that. Truly, I didn't mean to sound like an idiot.
Looks a bit like Ziricote.
