Dear Marloes,
     I actually have a little pocket knife in my possession almost entirely made from bone (only the rivets are made from metal) which was clearly a memento from the Crimean War. Not medieval nor from a burial but in much the same spirit as your little knife. I am happy tosend the image along if you like.

Best,
Alice

Dear all,


This miniature knife made of bone has been recovered from a child's grave in a chapel of a monastery and is dated between 1470 and 1572 AD.

Does anyone know of any parallells or has seen similar finds of miniature objects as grave goods? Or perhaps any other suggestions/literature?



Thanks,


Marloes
