Cylinder
Section of long bone, probably cattle metapodial. The medullary cavity has been cleaned out and smoothed to form a cylinder with screw threads at both ends. There is an internal screw thread at one end which is sealed by a circular plug. The exterior surface has been turned and decorated with circumferential grooves and cylindrical opposing perforations drilled laterally and aligned with the grooves.
