Carved bone hairpin in the shape of a woman, Roman Britain, 1st century. This long pin was designed to decorate a hairstyle like the one depicted on its carved head. Fashionable women throughout the Roman world copied the clothing and hairstyles of the Imperial court. During the Flavian dynasty (69-96 AD), elaborate styles with high fronts of false curls were fashionable. They were secured and embellished with a row of pins like this one. The ornamental heads of the pins projected above the hair. They were made of various materials, but bone was a common and inexpensive choice. This example may well have been made in a workshop in Roman London. P&EE, OA 245

The Franks Casket, Anglo-Saxon, first half of the 8th century. Box also known as the Auzon casket, made from the bone of a beached whale, richly carved on the sides and lid in high relief with a range of scenes. The decorated panel in the lid shows a Germanic story about a hero named Ægili who is shown defending his home from armed raiders. A runic inscription can be seen on the right. The style of the carving, and dialect of the inscriptions, show that the casket was made in northern England for a learned patron. It reflects the intellectual interest at this time in the Bible and history as it makes clever play of symbolism. The Frankish scholar Frithegod, who was active in Northumbria, may have taken it to France. Silver fittings were removed leaving scars which mark their original positions. The non-decorated part of the lid almost certainly replaces a carved piece. M&ME, 1867,1-20,1
