It's a pity that you get no other answer ; it's a pity too that I
get no answer to my questions.<br>
In the blacky part, is it the genuine surface of bone, or is there
some coating ?<br>
<br>
Do you use birch bark tar in that region ?<br>
<br>
Can you let search metal as silver ?<br>
<br>
Your's. <br>

<div>Dear All,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>do you have any idea, a part of what kind of
tool/item/device/decoration could have been the bone artifact in
the attached picture? It was found more than 20 years ago in the
center of medieval Wroclaw, within the cultural layer dated back
to the half of 13th century. The whole surface is highly
polished, one end is thinned (and possibly slightly burned -
black colour), but all edges of those negatives are heavily
rounded and polished as well. Nevertheless, on one side,
surfaces of those negatives bear traces of scraping or whittling
by a metal knife. I made micro photographs. If you would like to
look at them, let me know. It looks like a handle but there is
no hole to fix a tang. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best,</div>
