#MosaicMonday 3 cupids playing as Venus watches, 2nd Century AD from Utica, Tunisia, now in the Bardo Museum
Curiously it uses very large and very few tesserae, so appears almost 'pixellated'. It's also an uncommon example of its subjects casting shadows

What I will say is that if you’re concerned by this news as a member, as a fan of any of EH’s properties, or simply as someone who likes to walk around ruins, country houses and prehistoric sites, please write to English Heritage to say so.
Your voice matters the most.

I can’t say very much on this but I will say that we don’t accept the proposed changes for a number of reasons this article mentions (and others it doesn’t).

A #Neolithic conch shell horn (charonia nodifera) found in Ösel, Lower Saxony, dating 5300-4900 BC - the oldest known musical instrument in this region. It's an evidence of early contacts with the Mediterranean region.
The shell was found filled with flint tools in a settlement pit.

As thin as a slice of light. This Early Neolithic leaf-shaped arrowhead was made between 6000 and 5000 years ago. The flint so delicately pressure-flaked that it is translucent.

This is my pencil drawing of the enormous Dolmen of Crucuno, a Neolithic burial monument near Erdeven in Brittany. Partially demolished in the 19th century, it was also used for many years as a barn. Its cap stone weighs around 40 tonnes. #TombTuesday
