[Bonetools] Medieval Italian comb

[Steve Ashby]

Agreed looks antler.  Form broadly fits into my broad group Type 11, but
the typology is not so well-tested in southern Europe, and not sure how
useful that term will be for you there. Also, without seeing the
endplate profile it could well fit into the range of Late Roman forms that
I have termed type 10. In fact it is probably better simply to consider
these in the context of other late Roman and post-Roman hair combs from
the region.
