[Bonetools] object decorated with dice

[Etan Ayalon]

Perhaps it's too thick and short to be a [hair pin]? possibly a stylus?
As for the dice, keep in mind their connection to luck, so why not carve
it on an object, like a hamsa (hand palm) and many other symbols?

	Dear all,
	 
	A question from a German colleague. 
	This object is 6,6 cm long, diameter of the shaft is 0,4 cm. The
dice are circa 0,6 x 0,7 cm. 
	 
	Has anyone of you seen such a piece before, or has any other
information? 
	 
	With best wishes,
	Marloes
