I have seen such a handle in our list, maybe 2 or 3 years ago. I gave the dermination and many details, and, I must say, no news afterwards...<br>

Subject: worked bone handle<br></div><div class="im">

Dear Alice,<br>
<br>
I have a piece of worked bone I was hoping somebody might help me with. I recently worked on the faunal assemblage from Petra (mainly Roman and Byzantine contexts). In one of the bags was a lovely piece of worked bone, which appears to have been a knife or comb handle, formed into the shape of a human leg. It has incisions that form a pattern on the "leggings" and it has a carved hole where the knife or comb would have inserted into the "thigh" part of the leg. The heel has a pin running through it, presumably to hold on the toe part of the foot (which is now broken off). Please see the attached image.<br>
<br>
I'm wondering if you can point me to some any volumes or papers that might provide good examples of discussion of comparative material-- Roman/Byzantine worked bone, specifically handles. I'd mainly like to discuss how common this type of work is, in what contexts it occurs (knives, combs, etc), and what form it takes (animal, human, naturalistic).<br>
<br>
Many thanks for any advice!<br>
<br>
Sarah Kansa<br>
