Description: | A worked bone object, probably a Roman bow strengthener. The object consists of a tongue shaped strip of bone. The strip has parallel edges and is hemispherical in section It is broken at one end. At the rounded end, there is a semi-circular groove cut out of one of the parallel sides. This groove shows signs of wear. Along the same side as the groove are several diagonal nicks. These nicks run the length of the object, but appear too irregularly spaced and are too faint to be decoration. The flat underside of the object is diagonally scored. These score marks are quite deep but are irregularly spaced and crudely executed so are unlikely to be decoration. The tongue shaped end of the object is bevelled and smoothed. The object measures 110.79mm in length and 20.94mm in width. It has a maximum thickness of 4.49mm. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
