Title
Complete Post Medieval hand made bone apple corer or fid
Description
English: Complete Post Medieval hand made bone apple corer or fid. Made from an animal long bone, possibly Sheep, one end of the bone has been removed and the lower half has been split. The bone has been hollowed out and the walls thinned and sharpened. Tools identical to this are used in rope making and splicing and were produced in huge numbers. The example here is undecorated, save for a few cuts on the bone where meat has been removed. The thinness of the working end and the wear pattern suggests this is an apple corer as opposed to a fid, but the latter cannot be ruled out completely due to the similarity of these objects.
