Ancient Egyptian bone fragment from Naukratis dated 500 – 400 BC

Piece of worked bone. Possibly part of the side of a cylindrical object. There is a curve to the piece. Roughly triangular in shape, it has one finished edge which follows the curve. The outer surface is smooth, with parts of three circles, with central dot incised on it. Traces of modern glue along one edge suggest it may have been affixed to another fragment.
