This week I have another bony mystery object for you:
This one is currently on display in the beautiful Words on the Wave exhibition at the National Museum of Ireland on Kildare Street, but the focus is on the inscription on the bone, rather than the species the bone came from:
So, I’d love to hear your thoughts on what this is? Have fun with it!





It’s a gg, left femur
Yes it is.
Cart horse or water horse? A scale bar would help me signithigh!
Hard to get a scale bar in the case unfortunately, but this is surprisingly small. At a guess from memory I think it’s only in the region of 32cm long (although my estimate could be well out!)
i kneed more time to analyze the exact individual…
