<div>Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
<br>
I would like to know if any of you recognise this stray find, which was found in a river in Touraine, France (see attached pictures).<br>
<br>
It is a bevel end, probably made from a donkey's metapodial bone (the inner anatomical side for the bevel)<br>
<br>
The question is about its possible age: is it middle agel?<br>
<br>
<br>
Any help would be most appreciated.<br>
<br>
Best wishes, <br>
<br>
Eva David</div>
