Function

Roster Date Author Record
Notes on function 2001-07-10 okk could be a large stamp but the top is too tall and large and the round surface is not completely flat, but slightly convex. gb, mkb have suggested that it could be a clay nail, which could have been used in a wall or possibly next to a doorway to connect a door to a door peg. The indentation could have been useful to hold the clay nail in place. [Input: L710CC.J]
