Hmm. The amulet idea is a good one given its size (it looks ~4 cm.), and being so small, the hole wouldn't really need to be straight for it to hang well on a string. However, the hole is rather unfortunately placed if it were originally made as an amulet. Seeing the hole now, though, it doesn't look natural; perhaps it was made into an amulet from an earlier object? Which only begs the same question of what was it...
It looks to be shallow, but it may be deep enough that it is for holding something, something slender and cylindrical; the 'talons' would give it grip and a bit more leverage.
