Potters Tool |
||
| Description |
English: An incomplete, bone, potters tool dating from the Medieval to Post-Medieval Period (1400-1800).
Description: A piece of worked bone, sub-triangular in plan. The lower edge has been filed into 6 triangular shaped teeth. The external surface is smooth with some surface damage and a crack running from the apex through to the middle of the object. The reverse surface still retains the honeycomb type structure of the bone. The object appears to have been broken at its apex with an uneven break. Measurements: Length: 54.33; width:30.28; thickness: 6.25mm; Weight: 6.79g. Discussion: This object is probably a potters comb, used on wheel turned vessels to create a ridged, decorative surface. There is an illustration of a female potter at the wheel using a comb on a baluster type vessel on a playing card from the Hofämterspiel. This is one of the earliest complete packs of playing cards on record commissioned by Ladislaus The Posthumous, K<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_Hungary">i</a>ng of Hungary and Bohemia and Duke of Austria dating to 1455.
