[Bonetools] Colouring bone

[Marloes]

Hi David,
 
I have seen many objecs with this reddish pigment (not completely coloured anymore, but only pigment left in in the decoration as this dice), but not early medieval I think.
 
Best wishes, Marloes

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
