</p><p class="">a medievalist colleague of mine asked me to help her with the
identification of the material the object below is made of. This

housed in the monastery of San Isodoro, León, Spain. The
measurements are as follow: <br class="">

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="textbox" dir="ltr" style="left: 72.2518px; bottom:
