My first thought was that they looked like microbes of some sort.
Grains of pollen is an even better analog.

First time I have read about this.

Art for art’s sake?

If food was plentiful and the weather was nice, I’ll guess that most Stone Age residents had a lot of free time?

"These were all made by the same artist over his lifetime. He sold them as toys/collector items."

Were Fabergé's ancestors Scottish?

Some of the stone balls look like the first micro-seconds
of a nuclear explosion...

Paperweights.....Papyrus weights at that time. Especially with all the tinting.

They would have needed something substantial to keep the papyrus in place while they were exhibiting their calligraphy talents.

The fact that they are artistic also lends to that possibility.
