Dear all,
 I am collecting instances where dog and hare bone appear together on the
same object, especially from the Late Iron Age on. Images with descriptions
would be appreciated. Each of these species separately have their special
significance in Greek,Roman and medieval belief systems. The combination is
associated with the hunt as a complex metaphor but I want to know how this
idea might have been materialized in amulet form in earlier periods or in
popular belief systems.

Thanks in advance,

Alice
