[Bonetools] medieval object

[Dave Constantine]

My reasoning for the salt container over powder horn was the dating (X-XI) and it’s similarity to one of a similar period (XI I believe) that Marloes showed me.

Dear Annick and Dave,

 

I agree that it looks like a container but I was thinking about a powder horn.  I remember Marloes showing me a similar shaped example from Holland. Can you send some move views?

Hello Annick, 

 

It looks like a “salt container” of the Early Medieval. Similar containers of antler (and sometimes bone) are found around Germany, Switzerland, Poland and even the Netherlands etc. An interesting article on them can be found at http://www.academia.edu/2899033/Cum_grano_salis_-_Salt_and_prestige._Late_Viking_Age_and_Early_Medieval_T-shaped_and_Cylindrical_Salt_Containers_2007_

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for comparables that object antler found in the Somme, in a context X-XI S, on a rural habitat. 
It could be an abbot ferrule or "tau", or simply a stick of highly decorated shepherd. Do you see parallels? 
I thank you in advance. 
sincerely

 

Annick Thuet
