Title
Prehistoric cup
Description
Whales are common in the North Atlantic, and since ancient times people have used their meat and oil. In regions with no trees, bones were fashioned into household items that would usully be made from timber; this handled cup is made from a backbone. It is unfinished, and you can see the inside isn’t fully hollowed-out. Early People gallery ARC 85130
