Title |
Post Medieval earscoop made from animal skeletal material |
||
Description |
English: A post medieval horn decorated ear scoop. The scoop is carved from one piece of horn; the scoop itself is thin and curved (4.3mm width x 1.3mm thick). The piece then widens to be oval in section, which gradually increases in circumference towards a decorated terminal section. The decorated section maintains the scoops maximum width and thickness. It is formed of a series of parallel carved diagonal lines with a double engraved collar between it and the shaft, and a single between it and the now broken terminal. The terminal narrows then broads to created a notched end, but the very tip has broken off; it made have originally had a decorative finial tip. The scoop measures 84.2mm length x 6.9mm width x 5.9mm thick and weighs 2.73g.
Similar ear scoops, but made from bone, are illustrated in MacGregor (1985, 99-100, ref. 57a & b) and are dated to the 16th to 17th century AD. |
