I´ve attached a scan, if you need the German text on the item or a rough translation, please let me know. It´s taken from M. Miller, Kölner Schatzbaukasten. Mainz 1997, p.85. I think I have something else on it as well.<br><br>Considering the holes, I would look out for fittings or inlays related to furniture, boxes, books and so on. <br><br>Best wishes from Germany<br><br>Melanie Langbein <br>

I
have been discussing two odd bone artefacts from <br>Conisbrough Castle with Susan Harrison and we thought you might be able to point us in the right <br>direction. Attached are rather horrible images, but hopefully enough to see what they are. <br>Described as:<br><br>><br><br>>2 bone plates. Thin section flat pieces shaped with hook at one end, narrowing at centre and <br>drilled fastening hole at other end. Decorated on one side only with border of fine drilled dots. <br>Left and right of a pair.<br><br>><br><br>>If they speak to you it would be excellent to have a suggestion as to where to look as we are <br>clueless.<br><br>><br><br>>Many
