Tools in bone

12th century

Two carved objects in bone. The first whose use is unknown is in the shape of a semicircular rod with signs of carving on the edges.
The second is a fragment of a knife handle in bone, the base of which would probably have been riveted to the tang of a knife. Vestiges of a rivet hole can be found on the break of the object.
