Description

  • Arrow nock made of horn
  • Cylindrical object of carved horn consisting of two joined elements. A carefully worked cylindrical section 1.7 cm long, oval in cross-section (1.2 cm by 1 cm) but with a 0.7 cm wide, ca. 0.1 cm deep smoothed trough extending the length of one side. Slight entasis to shaft. At terminus a 0,8 cm deep, 0.7 cm wide slot inserted with semi-circular base. Surface smoothed and rounded. This develops to a less well worked conical element 2 cm long, roughly circular in cross-section, ca. 1 cm wide. The latter appears to be a peg to be inserted in another object and not intended to be visible. The object is an arrow nock meant to be inserted into a wooden arrow shaft. 2nd to 7th c. CE?
