[Bonetools] bone cross pendant

[Márta Tassi]

Dear David,

This find isn't from Northern/Western Europe, but from a medieval (11-13th century) hungarian village. The cross is made from antler and came to light in a grave of a child. 

Sincerely,
Marta

Subject: [Bonetools]  bone cross pendant
 

This bone cross was originally found in a confusing mix of contexts and 
based on that data could be placed anywhere from the 8th - 13th C.

Stylistically it is similar to the Saxon pectoral crosses of the 7th-9th C, 
but I am unaware of other finds like it in bone. Does anyone know of 
similar, more securely dated, bone/antler examples from Northern/Western 
Europe during the Medieval?

Regards,

David Constantine
