Cylinder
Section of long bone, probably cattle metapodial. The medullary cavity has been cleaned out and smoothed by turning, forming a cylinder with external screw thread at one end and internal screw thread at the other. A flat discoid plug with damaged edges screws into one end. The exterior has been turned and decorated with circumferential bands. There is a crack in the longitudinal axis. Well polished.
