Bone implement
Unknown
2nd–3rd century CE · Bone · Greek and Roman Art
The object, although it has the same basic shape as stirring rods in bronze and glass, is unlikely to have been used for stirring, mixing, or applying cosmetics and ointments. A more likely interpretation is that it was a baby’s rattle.
