[Bonetools] knive handle

[Stephen Greep]

I liked the leopard - here are three with broadly the same idea. The first
from France, the other two from Britain

Dear Dr. Grau

maybe something interesting for You. The clasp-knife handle showing a
leopard is made of ivory but was found in Ovilvava Wels. We do not have
tigers, lions or leopards in Austria, the roman Province called Noricum. We
think e.g. a roman soldier or a veteran whose unit was stationed in the near
east could have imported this knife. 

 

kind regards
