[Bonetools] Colouring bone

[David Constantine]

Hello All, 

Attached is an image of a (probably) Saxon bone/antler die. As can be seen, there is reddish pigmentation in the decoration. I have looked around for similar colouring and with the exception of a "lucet" from London I cannot seem to find anything similar, just totally stained objects e.g. the belt buckle from York. Does anyone here know of any Early Medieval dated bone artefacts that are either entirely stained/dyed or have coloured decoration such as this?

Regards,

David Constantine
