Carved Bone Needle Case Fragments

Two mendable fragments of a burnt bone or less likely ivory needle case. The fragments are intricately carved with cut ribs and knops along the body, but are broken at both ends and split through the center. The fragment is similar to a needle case found in a neighboring context. The object appears calcined from burning or fire damage. Originally identified as a possible gaming piece.
