[Bonetools] Ship-shaped bone votive offering (?)

[Font Ágnes]

Dear All,

I found this link with a similar (or the same?) object.
https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/rare-early-phoenician-ship-model-ca-8th-century-b-8-c-a8642c7a89
I’m not sure how accurate the context or description added to it on the
side but it’s still interesting.

Best,
Agnes Font
