Cylindrical bone box of ivory bone from Campanopetra, square K IV/γ8, Salamis. Inventory Po_0143; negative 02260_06; slide C_2582; drawings D_0005, D_0007 and D_0008; plates PL_71 and PL_49. Only the complete lid survives (ø 1.6 cm, thickness 0.2 cm), a flat disc with a central point and an incised circle around the edge; the complete base (ø 2.7 cm, thickness 0.25 cm) is a flat disc with a central point and concentric incised circles; a second base, reassembled, has a damaged surface (ø 2.2 cm, thickness 0.4 cm). The lid is similar to that of box Sal_2709: a disc with a flat base and convex top, decorated with concentric circular mouldings around a central cap on which the knob was fixed. 16 September 1967.
