[Bonetools] Ear ornament

[Alice Choyke]

Don't laugh but late prehistoric North American (Mississipian  Culture),
Meso and South America has similar objects which are called ear spools.
This is obviously something that was invented and reinvented a number of
times closer to your region. What is the scale?

Best,
Alice
