These are kohl sticks.

They are from Grave D35 in Antinoe.

Kohl eye makeup was mixed to a paste and painted onto the eyelid using a stick. Kohl sticks were made of various materials and in various shapes and sizes. These wooden sticks are from the Byzantine period (330-641 CE). Kohl was used in the Pre-dynastic period, over 5,000 years ago, and is still used today.
