Whalebone plaque, Viking, 9th century. Whalebone plaque decorated with a pair of openwork horses' heads at the top and incised with ring-and-dot and geometric designs. It is thought that these plaques were used as boards for smoothing folds and seams in linen clothing with the aid of bun-shaped glass smoothers. This example is from a barrow burial at Lilleberge, Namdalen, Norway. Whales were hunted for their skins, meat and whalebone; they also sometimes stranded themselves or were washed ashore where their carcasses could be cut up. M&ME, 1891,10-21,67
