Description: | Hand carved bone pin or stylus dating possibly to the medieval period. The stylus has a square flat head which shows evidence of wear, which has caused the top edge to round and curve at one side. This could perhaps suggest this end was functional, possibly used for smoothing wax. The shaft of the pin or stylus is roughly circular in cross-section and tapers from the head to a pointed tip. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1100
