[Bonetools] Strange bone artifact from Syria

[Lóránt Vass]

Dear members,
I got some photos with a very strange bone object from Syria. One of my Syrian students sent me these pictures. According to her, the sculpture belongs to a friend who does not know anything about the place it has been found. Actually, there is no information  about the find context or chronology at all.It is not even sure it is an ancient artifact, however, the features of the sculpted portrait seems of ancient Greek-Roman style. Have anyone seen anything similar to this? Does anyone know the function and the raw material of this object? 
Thank you very much for your help!
All the best,Lóránt Vass
