[Bonetools] Help identifying tool

[Imola Kelemen]

 Dear all,
thank you very much for all your help and advice, I forwarded everything to my friend.
If anyone'd like to know, as I've been told, the piece comes from Chendu (Mures County, Romania), but unfortunately it is without context. It is yet unpublished.
Sunny days and all the best to everyone,
Imola

 Accoding to the program of the WBRG meeting in 2016, Petar Zidarov
presented some similar items from the Eastern Balkans.

I have also seen some more elaborated versions of these items in
Northern Greece.
