<div><font face="Calibri">Attached is an image of a (probably) Saxon bone/antler
die. As can be seen, there is reddish pigmentation in the decoration. I have
looked around for similar colouring and with the exception of a "lucet" from
London I cannot seem to find anything similar, just totally stained objects e.g.
the belt buckle from York. Does anyone here know of any Early Medieval dated
bone artefacts that are either entirely stained/dyed or have coloured decoration
such as this?</font></div>
