In the seventh century, it became a thing for women across the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms to wear pieces of old Roman glass framed in gold settings as pendants on necklaces. Top left is a new find recorded this week on @findsorguk.bsky.social with others on PAS & the necklace from Sarre.

The early medieval burial from Gammertingen, 6th c. AD. The high-ranking warrior died in his early 30s and was buried with a Byzantine helmet (a so-called Spangenhelm), his weapons, and his mail armour – which consisted of about 45,000 iron rings!

We all know the situation. The aggressor is Russia. Ukraine are a nation under attack.

I think we were all right to help Ukraine and sanction Russia three years ago, and to continue to do so.

The Garryduff Bird

This tiny golden bird, thought to be a wren, is one of the true treasures in the Cork Public Museum. It measures just 1.5cm, and is delicately made from gold foil and filigree.

It was found during the excavation of a ringfort in north-east Cork by MJ O'Kelly in the 1940s.
