Hi Hannah,

to me the texture looks a bit turle-ish (more than tortoise-ish) but the shape ... no idea.


Best,

Nadja

Hi, and happy Friday to all!

I am stumped trying to identify this fragment from a probable medieval context at a priory in the Scottish Boarders.

I have posted the images on my business Facebook page, which is public, so should be viewable to all, even those not registered with the site. Let me know if not! 

The outer surface of the fragment, which is a thin 'vaneer' of a ?horn like substance, has what I think should be a distinctive texture, but I just can't place it. The main material is white chalky. I have some ideas, but pretty stumped!

Your help would be much appreciated.
Best wishes, Hannah
