Hmmm.  Not seen anything exactly like it.

But based on size, pointed and and spatulate end my guess is a stylus for a wax tablet.  My guess would be that the hole was for a cord so that it could be tied to the wax tablet and not lost.

Like how in Canada we sew kids mittens to a string to go through their coat sleeves. :)
