[Bonetools] Is this part of a funerary couch ?

[Chiara Bianchi]

Buongiorno

You can find two leaves from a funerary couch from Italy on this paper  (see pdf, figs 37 and 54; the rear of these leaves is flat and rough).

Thank you very much for your useful references from England!

Best regards 

Chiara Bianchi

Beal and Chiara Bianchi, amongst others. I wonder if anybody would agree with this interpretation ! If so, it could well be the northernmost example from the Roman Empire,
