<DIV><FONT face=Arial>It looks like a “salt container” of the Early Medieval.
Similar containers of antler (and sometimes bone) are found around Germany,
Switzerland, Poland and even the Netherlands etc. An interesting article on them
can be found at <A

<P style="MARGIN: 0px" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;">Hello everyone,</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;">I'm looking for comparables
that object antler found in the Somme, in a context X-XI S, on a rural habitat.
<BR>It could be an abbot ferrule or "tau", or simply a stick of highly decorated
shepherd. Do you see parallels? <BR>I thank you in advance. <BR>sincerely</P>
