Potsherd
A potsherd is a broken pottery fragment, especially one of archaeological value.
In Job's misery, he was reducing to taking a potsherd to scratch his many boils.
And he took a potsherd to scrape himself while he was sitting among the ashes. (Job 2:8, NASB)
Note: This image of "Job among the ashes" (based upon Job 2:8) was engraved by Bernard Picart (1673-1733)and was first published in "Figures de la Bible" in 1728.
