Found in the churchyard of St Paul’s cathedral in London in 1852, this runestone reads ‘Ginna and
Toki had this stone set up’. It shows a creature with its front paws
entangled with a snake. It was probably raised in the early 11th
century, when Danish king Cnut ruled England. #medievalsky #london

#FrescoFriday - One of the stunning female portrait medallions from the House of Leda, Pompeii (V.6.12).

Perhaps a depiction of one of the Seasons, or - with what appears to be ivy wreathing the hair - a Maenad? #Pompeii #Archaeology 🏺

For #FindsFriday here's a fabulous bronze boar from the Lexden Tumulus burial near Colchester, Essex

Dated to the late Iron Age ~10BC, it may have belonged to King Addedomarus of the Trinovantes tribe!

Barberini Faun, second century BC. Fun fact: During the siege of Rome in 537, the defenders had hurled down statues upon the Goths, and this one could have been such a projectile.

A bunch of fridge magnets are ready to be shipped! I haven't shown the polished gold version yet, so here they are! 💛

The gold doesn't photograph well. In real life, it is very reflective. ✨

First test piece for the new series of fridge magnets- Gods of ancient Greece and Rome!

I might change the font and add texture to the base and meander, but overall, I am happy with it!

Hope you like it!
