Dear Lorant,<BR> <BR>Thank you very much for your answer. The scale is in millimeters and the cylindrical object is not hollow inside. I have tried to photograph it from another angle.<BR> <BR>Best wishes,<BR>Marloes<br> <BR><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2012 04:39:23 -0800<br>From: v_lorant@yahoo.com<br>To: bonetools@listserv.niif.hu<br>Subject: Re: [Bonetools] roman cremation find<br><br><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Dear Marloes,<br><br>If the scale is correct, the objects seem, at the first sight, to be different elements of a perfume container lid. The longer cylindrical and the smaller cylindrical object decorated with collars and a conical motif are, very probable, fragments of the handle attached to the lathe-turned, circular lid (represented by the other fragments). Is the long, cylindrical object hollow inside? If it is, then it could have also been used as an ornamental hinge terminal of a casket. In this consideration, the other fragments could have also served as casket mounts. Could you eventually take some pictures from another angle so that the presumption concerning the function could be clarified? This type of artifact is common in the first century A.D., they continue to be used, rarely, in the first quarter
of the second century A.D. as well. I will check some reference and parallels for these fragments, and I will send them to you. <br><br>All the best,<br>Lorant<br><div><span><br></span></div><div><br></div> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div dir="ltr"> <font size="2" face="Arial"> <hr SIZE="1"> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">From:</span></b> Marloes Rijkelijkhuizen <marloesrijkelijkhuizen@hotmail.com><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> "bonetools@listserv.niif.hu" <bonetools@listserv.niif.hu> <br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Tuesday, November 27, 2012 2:00 PM<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> [Bonetools] roman cremation find<br> </font> </div> <br>
