Prehistoric bone awl
Sheep/goat metatarsal, the proximal end removed and the shaftcut obliquely and shaped to a sharp point. The edges of the point have become polished through use and a slightly facet has formed along one edge. A large perforation is present towards the distal end but this may be a damage rather than a deliberately made hole.
