The Bayeux Tapestry's borders have a lot of charming images too. Here, left to right: (1) a mule-powered plough team; (2) farmer sowing seeds; (3) horse-drawn harrow covering the seeds and leveling the soil.
This was very much a world of both ploughshares & swords.

Incredibly impressive work! 📜
I can finally spill the beans! Kurt Burmeister & I have been working for months digitizing a set of Thomas Sopwith's 1841 hand-carved geology block models now housed at the Killhope Museum. Lina Jakaité animated the models into this amazing video for #GSA2023.
