About MeThis yew wood box may have held a holy relic, a bone or piece of cloth associated with a saint. The box has the remains of a loop for hanging the box from a belt or girdle.
The upper surface of the box has been decorated with a pattern of hatched knifecuts. A V-shaped groove runs along the inside face of the box, presumably to house the lid which would have slid in from the top.
