I have one of these that I was given in the late 1960's by an Indian goods store owner (I worked there one summer). Its a little bone pomander. It is meant to have a tiny piece of cotton wool inserted inside the channel for the handle on which one can put a drop of sented oil. The whole thing thus becomes a scent holder for a purse, a work bag or even a pocket.
Something like a 'vinaigrette' but more humble.
