It does not look like tally sticks known to me, in which numbers are marked, for instance by circle and dot designs. What about a pendant?

Dear all,

we have found an interesting bone object during the excavations at the late medieval – early modern fortress in Sisak. The object is round in cross-section, hollow, and pierced-thorugh at the top. It has vertical incisions from top to bottom,divided in zones marked by horizontal line. It has crossed my mind it could have served as a tally stick. Unfortunately, I did not find an exact analogy in the literature I have the access to, so perhaps it is sometning else.

Any clues?

The dimensions are: 8,9 cm x 1,4 cm.
Thanks in advance,
