Among the Maasai, tools made from bone were commonly used in everyday pastoral life, including hunting preparation, leather working, and grooming. Such objects reflect the Maasai ethos of utilizing every part of the animal, reinforcing the deep relationship between people, livestock, and the natural environment. These slender implements also relate to the warrior culture of the Maasai, where hunting and the skills associated with it formed an important part of traditional knowledge and identity.
