Quiz - Iagoba - 04-30-2008
Welcolme!
Our first question of the night it´s for any RATer.
Category:
Experimental Archeology
-What´s for the thing I have got in my hand?
One hint:
It´s made of bone.
The prize it´s an "Gallifante Rampante", a curious mithological animal for be added to the winner´s shield (or signature) if he can draw (and imagine :mrgreen: ) it, as a symbol of his/her wisdom and wit.
PS: I was really surprised to find (and know) this object...

It looks like one half of a set of percussion 'bones' used to play rhythms.

Its a bone folder. As a librarian, I use the very thing for fixing bookbindings. As a shoemaker, I use it for rubbing down the edges of shoe soles.
Cheers,
Lucianus
