I think you missed it.

What does a hunter do with the bones of a hunt ? - Carve on them and
make prizes out of them. You speak of an empty coconut-bowl (e.g. used up but hard shell)
If you know Coconut - the shell is hard and dark. It can be carved.

These were used by pacific islanders - lived there - for both coconut meat and oil,
but later fresh water.

So use of what is left over is very part of life.

And I have a lot of Viking blood myself. :-)

Martin H,
while your point is good it's not correct in the case here. You see it was
delivered by Ivar Bardson and it's noted to be delievered of him as part of
the tithes he brought with him from Vinland on his voyage to Vinland and
Greenland to collect the tithes for 1354-1364.

I am also trying to track the silver monted coconut-bowl which were

among

the items Ivar Bardson delivered from Vinland as part of the tithes from
Vinland. It may take some time to put all the lines from Stavanger to

Rome

together here. Seems as if it might have been sold in Flandern but I

really

hope not. More as soon as I have followed that one up.


Coconut bowl? Where can we read about this?

The Vikings were well known to trade goods with the people of Turkey.
They came down the rivers in Russia.

Coconuts last a long time and likely were stores on long trips once traded

for.
