Dear Olivier,

it seems to be a weaving tablet, there are a lot of analogies from Roman
contexts (we have a triangular one from our site (Brigetio, Hungary)). There
is a list of Roman weaving-tablets in* *Wild, J. P., *Textile Manufacture in
the Northern Roman Provinces*, Cambridge 1970, if I remember well.

Best wishes,

David Bartus
