Reminds us of this graffiti from an early modern prison on Sicily, depicting Maltese galleys used by the Order of St. John (aka Knights Hospitaller). It may foretell the prisoners' fates as galley rowers, or have been used to recount tales of Mediterranean privateering

Left: a painting and digital illustration of a Maltese galley; a wooden ship with a low-lying hull, triangular lanteen sails and oars. Right: stone wall with markings engraved on it. Digital enhancement reveals striking similarity to the galleys, including a flag flown with the cross of the Order of St. John.

Can you help us with this mystery object this #FindsFriday? It was found in a possible 17th century house pressed down between a joist and a chimney breast behind a wattle and daub panel. We are going to be undertaking more work to see if it might shed more light on its purpose and origins!

Medieval sandal, from 14th century, found preserved in vultures nest on a cliff in southern Spain, a rough sandal woven from grasses and twigs

I'm not saying that vultures might also steal single socks from your laundry basket, but y'know...?

Basketry Olla Depicting Humans, Horses, and Saguaro Cacti https://www.artic.edu/artworks/227071/
The 1930s, when this Yavapai basket was created, marked the last period in which significant traditional North American Indian basketry was made. The production of major basketry had flourished in the Far West since the remote time of early migrations–long before pottery was invented and long before sedentary life–when people lived by hunting and gathering. This ancient pattern persisted in the remote desert basins and mountains of the Great Basin and adjacent lands until the early 20th century. Among the Yavapai, whose homeland lies in west-central Arizona, basketry was an important craft. Yavapai artists made burden baskets, trays for winnowing and parching seeds, water bottles, and containers for boiling food with the aid of heated rocks. The present basket has a bold positive-negative organization, defined by large triangular compartments containing abstract silhouette of standing anthropomorphic figures, diverse animals, cacti, diamond shapes, and diminutive cruciform designs. It presents an exceptionally expert example of the weaver’s skill, creating a controlled yet dynamic design by balancing the highest quality of jet-black Devil’s Claw against an elegant light willow. — Permanent collection object description</> Curatorial Discretion and Mrs. Leonard Florsheim funds
