This tiny fine-pointed drill was used to drill a hole in the centre
of ostrich egg-shell beads. Beads made from ostrich egg shells are
amongst the earliest known examples of African jewellery. Such beads
are still made in parts of east Africa today. It is not known when
this drill was made. It was collected some time before 1936.
