<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Wow!! Definitely antler no two ways about it. The body of the object is beam with the spongy medulla removed. The 'lip' to the side is formed from the base of a tine where it branched from the main beam.</p>

<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>
<p class="m_8562066131249383866x_textbox" dir="ltr" style="font-family:Times-Roman,serif">
Metal top diameter: 34mm </p>
<p class="m_8562066131249383866x_textbox" dir="ltr" style="font-family:Times-Roman,serif">
Height (antler only): 44mm</p>
<p class="m_8562066131249383866x_textbox" dir="ltr" style="font-family:Times-Roman,serif">
By the elongated shape of the top we thought it was made of antler but I am not sure. What do you think? Any ideas? Do you know of any parallels?</p>
<p class="m_8562066131249383866x_textbox" dir="ltr" style="font-family:Times-Roman,serif">
Thanks a lot, <br>
