Object category
Anglo-Scandinavian
Description
Y shaped cut from antler tine. Waterman 1959 describes it as "cut from antler... shows the beginning of a lateral perforation and is evidently unfinished.... These objects are called pendants without prejudice as to their actual use. Evidence of wear at the perforations suggests that they were intended for suspension and the decorated examples may indeed have been worn as ornaments. The distinctive shape, however, suggests that they may have been put to some practical use..." Possibly a lucet. See YORYM : 1948.619 and YORYM : C667 for other examples.
