@history_witan Sadly, the two horn-sockets don't connect, so wouldn't work.
@caitlinrgreen maybe a string went through the tongue to form a sort of necklace, I just have this feeling it may be used to ward of spirits
@history_witan That's the current best guess, with the ears/horns purely decorative, although still very uncertain! https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/512350 …
@caitlinrgreen perhaps something was as it suggests stuck in the 'ears', perhaps small pieces of antler, because to me that is what I see
@history_witan that might work! Though would be unparalleled to my knowledge :/ could be like Alfred jewel, but 2 sticks?!
@caitlinrgreen Oh ok, are there any interpretations of what it might be, I was thinking either a nice bit of jewellery or a totem of sorts
