[Bonetools] help with material identification

[Marta Moreno García]

Dear all,

a medievalist colleague of mine asked me to help her with the 
identification of the material the object below is made of. This is a 
small box dated to the Middle Ages that it is presently housed in the 
monastery of San Isodoro, León, Spain. The measurements are as follow:

Base at longest point: 57mm

Metal top diameter: 34mm

Height (antler only): 44mm

By the elongated shape of the top we thought it was made of antler but I 
am not sure. What do you think? Any ideas? Do you know of any parallels?

Thanks a lot,

Marta
