[Bonetools] Bone object

[Leigh Allen]

Dear Colleagues, 

I attach a photograph of a rather beautiful bone object recovered from one of our excavations at Didcot, Oxfordshire, if anyone can tell me what it may have been used for I would be most grateful, it came from a Late Roman context. The closest parallel I have found so far are Prehistoric tools for decorating pots although these tend to have teeth at the splayed end and a perforation through the centre. 

Many thanks

Leigh Allen
