[Bonetools] WBRG website updates May 2021

[Kordula Gostencnik]

Dear all,

I did not follow the discussion of the bonetool-object from May, but
did anyone consider a nail-cleaner for finger- and toe-nails? The
object somehow resembles Roman and pre-Roman nail cleaners, although
those were rather made from copper alloys or iron. Its perforation
might indicate that it was mounted onto a ring, probably with with
further toiletry implements or any other personal belongings.

It is only a suggestion.

Greetings from Vienna,
Kordula Gostencik
