[Bonetools] odd ostrich object

[h13017cho at helka.iif.hu]

    Daniella Bar-Yosef sent this message to the Zooarch list but I thought 
    there might just be someone on the WBRG list who has an idea what  
    this object is (I have sent the image in the attachment but it can also 
    be viewed on the link below). I wonder if it could be some kind of inlay 
    and someone else on the ICAZ mailing list has suggested a pre-form 
    bead.

    Hello everyone,

I was asked to comment on an artifact made of ostrich egg shell from a 
Roman site in Israel. I would appreciate your help. Has anyone seen 
anything similar? I have uploaded the photo in bone comments, see link 
below.

Best wishes for 2009,Daniella Bar-Yosef
