<p>Dear all, <br>
</p>
<p>a medievalist colleague of mine asked me to help her with the
identification of the material the object below is made of. This
is a small box dated to the Middle Ages that it is presently
housed in the monastery of San Isodoro, León, Spain. The
measurements are as follow: <br>
</p>
<p>Base at longest point: 57mm </p>
