Old Carved Bone Fragment with Hand driftwood sculpture and surely one could comeI'm not quite sure what this was made for; it appears that this is a fragment of what was once a longer piece, perhaps a page turner (?), though it seems possible that that hand once held something in the hole created between fingers and thumb?
