Well, looks to me like Canturbury experts have way too much time on their hands. Nominee for Most Boring Artifact Ever. |

An early tinker-toy?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Better guess than I had
:)
Could be a cheekpiece for a bridle, the sort of bridle used for chariots or wagons. There would have been two of them, one on each side of the horse’s mouth.
See ‘Horse, Wheel, Language’, by David Anthony, where these sorts of cheekpieces are illustrated from about 1700 B.C. Although I realize they are saying this is a Saxon piece which would be A,.D.
looks like a button
It’s a celestial time piece. They use it to track the summer solstice. The particular one was obviously the pocket variety. If you hold it up in the air on the date of the summer solstice, then the shadow created by the holes will line up perfectly.
(Always a safe guess when you have no clue, and you’re an archaeologist).
Well, duh.
Its an ancient symbol depicting “Bush’s Fault”
no way its a steering wheel puller
You’re both wrong. It’s a “Widget.”
Isw this the latest Canterbury tale?
Maybe,
Sorta
Does it have something to do with our second gay Bishop in the ECUSA?
>> a special faucet washer
Sounds of compressed laughter from Evergreen ;o)
They probably should be asking a miller about this.
Oooh, not bad...
You, Sir, have obviously spent too much time sniggering over your copy of Motel of the Mysteries
