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

Dejar Agnes

It’s true! It is the same object… I can't find any similar items, nor any from a similar time period to the one suggested on this auction web page.

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

Dear Juan Antonio,
        I have no idea what this is or from what cultural context but the object is really incredibly elegant!

Dear Colleagues,
I would like to show you an archaeological object made of bone, unfortunately without any context, in the hope that some of you can help me assign it to a particular time period and cultural framework.
It is a jawbone that appears to depict a ship with a horse-headed figure on the prow.
I would be very grateful for any information you could provide on similar bone objects.
Kind regards to all

Juan
