[Bonetools] bird from bone

[poplin at mnhn.fr]

Second aid,

I thank two two colleagues, and am still waiting for informations by  
Márta Tassi.

The most important thing is that the item is not complete : the main  
part is missing and is/has been the claw iself. The bony part has to  
be considered only
as the setting of the jewell. The "eye" of the so-called bird has been  
drilled to fasten it (string) through the apophysa where used to stand  
the former/naturall link (tendon fléchisseur).
