Subject:Small Curved pick (bone or ivory)

Any ideas if this might be of asian origin?
Small hole drilled through upper end of pick

Perhaps a hair pick, not necessarily Asian, which originally had a chain attached at the hole to secure it around a bun or other hair arrangement and help prevent loss.

Best regards,

Many thanks for replying to my posting...with your suggestion that it may be a hair pin.

I am thinking that this could be an older hair pin.
