<div dir="ltr">Dear all,<br> <br>Two questions:<br> <br>- Does anyone has any references or datings for medieval antler crossbow nuts?<br> <br>- Objects like the attached picture are often described as flee/licecatchers. It is said that inside a cotton ball with honey and blood was put to trap the flees/lice. It was hung on a dress or put inside a wig. Does anyone have references for these items or for this explanation?<br> <br>Best wishes,<br>Marloes<br> </div>
