A Medieval - Post Medieval tuning peg made from animal skeletal material, probably bone. |

Description |
English: A Medieval tuning peg made from animal skeletal material, probably bone, probably dating 13th - 15th century. The tuning peg has a circular sectioned shank with a perforation at one end, through which the string would have passed. At the opposite end the cross-section changes to square approximately 10mm from the end.
Similar tuning pegs are published in MacGregor (1985:147) and MacGregor, Mainman & Rogers (1999:1978) they note that a key would have fitted over the square end to tune instruments such as harps, lyres or fiddles. The published examples date from the late 12th century - the end of the 13th century (MacGregor 1985:147) and the examples excavated in York mostly came from mid-late 14th century contexts but the authors note that similar groups of pegs from other sites across the country tend to derive from the 13th - 15th centuries (MacGregor, Mainman & Rogers 199:1979). Dimensions: length: 55.98mm; width: 6.06mm; thickness: 5.97mm; diameter: 4.28mm; weight: 2.54g. Reference: MacGregor, A. 1985. Bone, Antler, Ivory and Horn.
