The clasp-knife handle showing a leopard is made of ivory but was found in Ovilvava Wels. We do not have tigers, lions or leopards in Austria, the roman Province called Noricum. We think e.g. a roman soldier or a veteran whose unit was stationed in the near east could have imported this knife. </div><div><br></div><div>kind regards</div><div>Dr. Renate Miglbauer</div><div>Stadtmuseums Wels</div><div>Austria<br></div></div></body></html>
