[Bonetools] Any idea about this function of this artifact ?

[Selena Vitezović]

Hello everyone, Chris,

This pendant from Divostin is quite small, but my first guess is that you
have the basal end of some perforated tool, correct me if I am wrong, but I
guess this could have extended quite a lot at the broken part, and just the
form looks very much to the butt ends of stone tools, almost as if it is a
copy in antler. Other guess is that it is a handle - I've seen cylindrical
handles made from antler both in Serbia and Bulgaria, partially or
completelly hollowed cancellous tissue on a beam segment.
However, I've never seen anything quite like this before - hope you'll come
to some good hypothesis!

best, Selena
