<DIV>Hello, </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Attached is a photo of a replica braiding disc I was asked to make in horn
for an Early Medieval re-enactor. I have been trying to find a provenance for
it, but cannot seem to find any solid evidence. The closest I have come across
is a rumour that a similar disc exists in the museum at the Slagelse Trelleborg
fort, but I am having no luck in contacting them about it. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Has anyone on the list come across anything similar to this item in a
European Early medieval context? I have seen replicas made from bone, antler and
horn but actual evidence of their existence seems elusive.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks, </DIV>
