Extract

This paper publishes some Roman bone carvings in the Fitzwilliam Museum collected by Sir Henry Wellcome and given by the Wellcome Trustees in 1982–3. All seem to be from or associated with a range of elaborate couches produced in Italy in Republican and Early Imperial times and found in burials there and in the provinces. They have come to the Fitzwilliam largely because of that museum's earlier initiative in restoring such a couch, described by the author in Archaeologia 106 (1979), 1–32.
